I took over her position at Seagram Vintner's International and from that time on we became good friends, until I left to live in Holland. I have fond memories of lots of fun times and dinners with Jill and Chris. She was so beautiful inside and out. Wendy (previously Daws...

    🕯 Christopher Chambers lit a candle Ten years since you left us, ten long years. How I miss you. There have been good times and some good adventures, but none the same as when you were with me. There have been terrible times too, now being none too great. I received a 'gift' of nearly $8000 from you recently. You re still here with me, darling. Yo...
