I called 911 and snatched her out of bed...started CPR but she was gone. Took her to Coral Springs Hospital ...pronounced her DOA at 6:30 AM.

I have been a wreck all day. Diego came up and spent some time with me...took me and a co worker to lunch. Diego is first class as all of you are.

Tommy Hoffstetter at Chief Engines called me and we talked this AM...great lifetime friend. I think I'm either going out in the 255 or with Diego in his 272 tomorrow....like Tommy told me..."The Ocean always does it for me".

Thanks guys and I will leave you all with this...when you go to bed tonight, hug your lady, look her in the eye and tell her how much you love her...you never know...
