Friends---
On August 26, 2011, I wrote in a blog about having just found out that one of my dearest friends was facing a difficult illness. I'm so sad to say that today that horrible illness took him from us. My friend fought hard, and, thankfully had many good days following his diagnosis.
Of all of my 'Cape Friends', Everett is the one that I've known the longest. I first met him when we were on a bowling league together, and I thought that he was one of the funniest people I'd ever known. Our paths crossed again just a couple of years later, when we were in a Supper Club together. Eventually, I considered Everett one of my very best friends. For me, he was a listening ear, a hug when I needed one, and ALWAYS comic relief at just the right time! He was one of only a couple of men I can think of in my life who could chastise me for spending too much money without making me mad, for, in addition to being my friend, he was also my accountant.
Over the years, I was lucky enough to spend many hours with Everett on the golf course, on KY Lake, and just having lots of fun among friends. Of all the things I love about Everett, I think it is his laugh that I'll miss the most.
Thanks, E, for your advice, for your shoulder, for your listening ear, and for your humor! I'll never forget you!
