I've never made it this far before.  I suppose that's a good way to end a career.  I thank you all for playing along and making the days more fun.

Paul, you were inspiration that I didn't think I'd see around here anymore.  Thank you so much for everything.  

Corky- I'm so sorry that I can't be here to see you.  You shine like the sun, lady.  Remember that.

Cray- You take care of that pretty lady, aye?

Collins- You really are my brother, but I think you know that.

Romano- I am damned proud of you.  

Ilona- I love you, and I'll see you later. 

Danny- I won't forget you.  Thank you for your friendship.

and Jayne...
My days are never as bright as they are when you are here.  I don't really know what I'm going to do now, but I know that I'll still be looking, wishing, and hoping.  Thank you so much for being who you are.
