We love you Sheila. You know we do. We know that you have found yourself at last, and we are certain that everything will be wonderful in your life now. (Well, as much as is reasonably possible) Don't get cocky though. Hee hee

We will miss you too. (Until we get by there)

I realize I'm late coming to this board, but I'm glad I came across your post. Mitch, Patti, I didn't know you but for these past two seasons, and I came to love you very quickly. Mitch, your sweet smile and warm hugs were a part of my weekend, which I shall miss greatly. Patti, you're so sweet and funny. I just loved to see the smile on your face and hear you laugh. It brightened my days there.
I especially want to thank you for providing that portrait service in 2006. If it hadn't been for that, my daughter and I would not have had the beautiful picture of us together from that one weekend we shared. We both cherish that. Again, thank you!
If I say any more I'm sure to cry and I can't do that, I must be off to work soon. Don't need to be scaring off customers with black streaks down my cheeks.
I just want you to know, I love you guys! You, too, Jimmy!!! Dang, I'll miss your chats and hugs, as well. Take care and stop by and say hi when you get the chance. OH HOW I WISH you would win that lottery, Mitch!!! I'd just move in and live in Avaloch forever! And, I doubt seriously you'd take on that "owner" thingy. Your heart is much too big! xoxox Sharon, the Mug Wench/Pirate Queen.

Sharon, you are very sweet to say such nice things about us. We, however, were the ones who benefited the most by our being in Avaloch for all those years. The longer I am gone, with the realization of the finality of things the way they are, I have come to appreciate everyone there even more. To have an opportunity to feel the love of so many wonderful people is a blessing that many will never experience. I can live the rest of my life with the knowledge that I have had more gifts of friendship then any one person could ever expect to find in a lifetime. I'm so glad that you were one of them. Your smile and special love was a great joy, and we hope that we will see you many more times throughout our time in this place.
Keep in touch and please know that we think of you often.

Mitch Patti, Erik & Jimmy
