We met in Las Vegas Nevada over thirty years ago and worked together in the gaming industry, and became friends with a blast. Her Father left behind a great legacy, a beautiful and delightful daughter whom is very much alike her Father, that free smiling, don't let life pass you by opinion and zest for each day. And I am blessed to call her my friend.
