We never met you Jem, but it's like we've always known you. We enjoyed knowing Andres and Piggy out on Sand Point and were hoping to meet you there this summer. Bad things happen to good people, however, now you are in a much better place and we'll feel your presense on Rainy Lake. Love, Bill and Marne - Posted by: Bill Morrison (Friend) on: Dec 28, 2007
