"Bilo"...a most wonderful, memorable, well-lived life, generously shared with so many people...we "thank God" for the privilege we had to get to "know you"...to "laugh till our sides ached"...and, of course, to "share", also in times of grief and sorrow. You were such a great friend of my mother, "Rene" and in turn to me and I will never forget it!
