Hey Marco,

about ready to call it a day it is 10:14 PM here.... and sunrise- 7:14 AM where you are
Had a 3 1/2 hour drive back Los Angeles this morning, so I'm going to bed early
I spent the night in a hotel after a WunderGlo Cancer Fundraiser & Awards dinner
I was asked more than once what brought me to that meeting & I told them Hubby and friends like Y O U

I hope you wake from Sweet Dreams & have a fabulous day wrapped in Sunshine & Smiles

Good morning Marco, it's Sunday morning and we are getting ready for my son's football game. I've been checking the board constantly hoping to see an update from you. I hope and pray you are comfortable and pain free. Please know you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Does anyone here know how to re-post Marco's photos he placed a while back into the ending of this thread or at the new memorial post Marco Has Passed
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48187

It would be nice to have that happy, smiling, Vibrant face looking at us once more
unless someone has a huge objection.... I'd rather have that my strongest memory

Pictures can be found here:

A sad day all around
Blessings Dear Friends,
Rest in Peace Dear Marco
