31 Mar 2006 Jorge, my old friend, I remember when we became friends. I remember you had an infectious smile, and a warm, friendly, personality. You were a person I could trust in a place where belief in a friend was a luxury. You were very proud of your family, showing their pictures to everyone and telling us how much you loved your wife and kids. I remember your last words to me "Tell my children I love them". You're on the "Wall", Jorge, your name is etched in black stone and in our hearts. Rest in peace my friend, someday we will meet again. Red oldham1147@earthlink.net
