I laughed, I cried, I laughed even harder! I don’t believe that we (Kerry’s nearest and dearest friends) had ever seen those spectacular pictures of Mark before! Sorry I missed your speech in action at the rehearsal…and thanks for sharing it here!

Kerryookie – I love it!

@Aunt Sharon – I was holding out for a molded plastic prehistoric playset, complete with scientifically-inaccurate fully erect T-Rex (wait, that doesn’t read right) and actual working water fall. As I recall, you and Uncle Ron delivered on that demand a few months later.

Therefore, my records show that you are correct. I do, in fact, owe you one essay – 5,000 words or more – paying tribute to the wonderful impact you and Uncle Ron had upon my life – even through that tender, early age of 4.

… written in the style and phraseology of the mid-70′s, of course.

With that said, can someone please explain to me what a ‘key party’ is? : )

Two quick points…
1) I never knew Mookie had a real first name
and
B) Having read several of your beautifully written tributes to family and friends, all I can say is…WHERE WAS THIS WHEN YOU WERE OUR RING BEARER 30 YEARS AGO??? Granted, you were, like, 4, and you couldn’t write then, but you could have lifted a glass of ginger ale and cut loose with a touching, amusing, wonderful-turn-of-a-witty phrase tribute to your Uncle Ron and new Aunt Sharon, who had already known you practically your whole life by then! I had to go all Bridezilla and cut out some pretty insignificant blood relatives to get you that gig. Well, I’ll chalk it up to inexperience and a budding talent that had not blossomed yet. BUT YOU OWE ME!!
