Time Passages

I've been waiting on someone else to propose a  specal memorial obit for a close friend of mine; I wanted his obit  to  be the first here as a sort of commeration to the memory of  my friend. But regrets,  that obit has not been  forthcoming  in a  timely manner,  and  Life waits for no one.  So, I'm going to  wait just a day or two longer into the New Year, and  if I don't receive my special friend's obit  I'm  going to just start posting with the most recent obits I'm  privvy to.
