Sorry ...Dear Isabelle,<BR/><BR/>It's great to hear from you. Sorry for the delay in responding. My family and I were in the process of moving from LA to upstate New York, when Max died, so I was not able to do a fitting online tribute. But, your posting more that made up for my lapse. Thank you for sharing such warm thoughts. Some of my fondest memories are of the loving way you, and others, in Paris treated Sam in his final days. I'm sure Max felt about you as Sam did: as one member of his family. <BR/><BR/>Much Love,<BR/>Dennis<BR/><BR/>You can email me directly at dfly@earthlink.net. By all means, let's keep in touch.Dennis J.

I have been extremly fortunate to have been a close friend of them both.<BR/>To day, looking at it, brings me mixed emotions, " But how strange, this change from major to minor...." (everytime we say goodbye).<BR/>Again... Yes, I miss Max,like I miss Sam, and I always will.<BR/>He was one of a kind. A wonderful Human-Being, and far above.<BR/>He makes my heart sings " I could drink a case of you, and i'd still be on my feet...."<BR/>I am extremly saddened by his passing.<BR/>Lets stay in touch, it has been too<BR/>long.<BR/>IsabelleIzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795946436731795665noreply@blogger.com
