I knew you as 'fickle' on Safe Harbor Games. I thought of fickle as the 'official greeter' for Euchre tourneys. Fickle was so kind and welcoming to folks... always saying 'hello' in the lobby. Fickle made you feel like you belonged and people wanted you there on SHG. Fickle, you inspired me to kindness. You are forever in my heart. Fly with the angels, and save a spot at the Euchre table for me! Love, cruisingby
