I am so terribly sorry to hear of Rolf’s passing.  Sending my condolences to you all during this difficult time and holding you all in the light.

The Plunge
A memory I will always cherish with you was skiing and of course ice skating  We were on a ski trip in Telluride, Colorado and I wanted this sweatshirt that said, "I Skied the Plunge." You said, "No. You must  ski it to earn it." So the Plunge is a black diamond trail. It took several hours to get down but I did it. I earned it. I'm glad you made me earn it. No shortcuts! 
We had many ups and downs in our relationship, just like the Plunge, but it all worked out in the end.  I will miss you! We all will. We will all see each other again.  You headed to that great unknown first, something we will all do. Rest in Peace. You earned it. I'll ski the Plunge with you in my dreams and in a blink of an eye, you will see us again.❤️ ⛸️
