Whenever I drive home, I pass your apartment, and look up to the second floor, where you lived. So many weeks, you sat on the bench in the front of the building, waiting for me to pick you up to take you to play Mah Jongg. It was always my pleasure to have you as company, and I missed you when you were no longer able to come to the game. Thankfully. you’re no longer in pain, and knowing you, I’m sure you have found many Mah Jongg players in your “HEAVENLY RESTING PLACE”!
