There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from heaven, spend the day with them, just one more time, give them a hug, hear their voice again and tell them how much their friendship means. I always told Garth there are people you meet along our life journey who we immediately connect with. Garth was one of those people. I will miss him.
