I am so very thankful to have met Mr. Schmidt through his daughter and my dear friend, Mary Ethel, and am so saddened by his death. I consider myself very lucky to have known him, if only slightly, and will always cherish our last time together, which was around the dinner table in Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt's home. We laughed at many past experiences, my favorite being the story they told of the trip in a taxi all the way from their home in Bridgewater to Manhattan to a doctors' appointment and then taking their taxi driver out to lunch afterwards! We all had such a lovely evening and I will treasure the memory forever. My heart goes out to all the Schmidt family and they will continue to be in my prayers. God certainly does have another angel in heaven now.</b></font><br><br>
