Raising A Burger In Honor Of Leroy
It's Friday. It's been a tough week of remembering, reflecting, and rediscovering Leroy after his life's celebration on Sunday.
So let's declare today burger day!
So many of Leroy's friends have called this week to say, in his honor, or in his memory, they were having the biggest, juiciest burger they could find.
A dear old friend took her entire family to a place called Five Guys here in Maryland. Leroy loved their double cheeseburgers.
I got a call yesterday from close friends who were driving on the freeway in Southern California. That meant they were in IN-N-Out country ... and yes, they were planning on raising a "double-double" in memory of the big guy.
So many wonderful contributions have been made to Leroy's fund at Johns Hopkins, and to other worthy charities.
But sometimes, all it takes is to eat a great burger and smile. Knowing Leroy would appreciate every last bite.
