Delia,
We are going to miss you playing Euchre with us. We only knew each other briefly but it was like we were immediate best friends. I’m so glad we got to spend that time together a few weeks ago. Your other card playing partners, James, Ron, and Bret, and Paul will be missing you also.
I’m glad we got that one last picture together.
