I'll never forget "Party on the Pond".  Art was so fun!  He had such energy!  Listening to him "discuss" (and I use that term lightly) politics with Michael was priceless!  Thank the Lord that He gave us the ability to remember our loved ones and LAUGH!

Wendy, DJ,

I wrote in the card I sent "You and I knew him better than most". He was, without a doubt my best friend. I pray that you are able to carry out his plans for D J’s future. You’re a wonderful mother. I told D J to call me any time for any reason.

God bless you both,

Mark Homrich
