What Would You Say

What would you say if you knew it would be the last time you would ever speak to a friend or a loved one? That is something that, yet again, was brought to mind this weekend when a friend of ours died in a car accident.

We were lucky enough to have seen him in June, but we had no idea (how could we?) that it would be the last time we would have a moment; a moment to share with him that we cared, that we appreciated him, his friendship, and all he had done for us over the years.

Harry Fuller was an energizer bunny with enough good intentions to fill the state of Texas. Harry was warm and funny, a gentleman with a pretty pronounced warped sense of humor, and he would give those he cared about the shirt off his back.

In fact, many times the ladies in our group requested the shirt off his back, just to see him half naked! He happily obliged. Fortunately for all of us his wife understood.

For those who knew Harry the hole left behind won't easily be filled. Harry leaves behind lessons in compassion, work ethic, and most especially generosity of spirit.

He leaves behind a full life yet to be lived. He was only 41 years old.

Thank you Harry for your friendship and your help over the years. I hope you knew that you made us laugh. I hope you knew that we appreciated your friendship. I hope you knew that we thought of you as family.

You will be missed. Rest in Peace, friend.
