My Friend Beaux

Hi Granny!  We lost a very dear friend last week.  His name was Ari, but was affectionately known as Beaux.  My Daddy met him when he first started at the University of Pennsylvania.  They lived in the same hall.  Later on, they both rushed and pledged the same fraternity.  Beaux and my Daddy both lived in Philadelphia after college.  They were both very lucky to have one another.

My Daddy has a very special group of friends that is truly family.  We are all mourning the loss of our dear Beaux.  Every time he entered a room things got a little brighter.  He was always ready with a big hug, a smile, or a kind word - usually all three.  Beaux came to visit me when I was only a couple of weeks old.  We also visited San Francisco together when I was just a baby to celebrate Bryan and Liz's wedding.

I want to share some pictures of our friend Beaux.  I'm very sorry that we lost him so soon, but I was so very lucky to have had him in my life.

I love you, Granny!
