    Byron and Linda have been my friends for close to 30 years. Though our lives have taken us different directions over the years, our paths have always brought us back together. As The Salvation Army would say, Byron has been “promoted to Glory.” So congratulations to Byron, but condolences to Linda. See you both down the road.
