September 3, 2008 - September 10, 2008
"Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away
without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more
courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away
comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells
all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no
word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God
bless you precious friend."
~
Grace Noll Crowell ~
(In memory of Bryan Quan and all the friends and family
who knew and loved him)

A personal note from them goes on to say "With that said, our good friends, Don and Laurie, have some friends that did make it into Round 3. Their name is Jupiter One out of New York and they could use your votes now! Here is a link to their voting page: http://www.delllounge.com/soundandjury/?id=451780e6-6456-4255-906e-90ccdf193b48."
