How to make it

  • I met Denise about 7 years ago in Benehana's restaurant in Houston Texas. We were both there for the International Quilt Market and I was waiting to be seated at my table.
  • I saw her standing there alone and seeing her quilt badge I said come with me there is room for one more. It turned out it was her birthday and she was alone at the show.
  • She wanted to celebrate and have a Mai Tai , I got her the drink, we had a great dinner, lots of laughing and telling stories. She has been my friend every since and has a special place in my heart. She is a "special" lady.

    Good Morning JJ,
    Thanks for reprinting that beautiful poem you wrote for me. When you originally wrote it I had it printed and framed for each of my children which hangs in their bedroom with a picture of their beloved "papa" and one hangs in my office. It still makes me cry and I read it right before each trip to the cemetery for strength. It is as beautiful today as the day you wrote it. I hope it is strength and inspiration for many. Wishing you a beautiful holiday season.
    Your friend and companion along the way,
    Denise
