I miss my friend. Saby and I knew each other for many, many years. I got to know him in my role as a pastoral volunteer at Van Duyn Nursing Home. Each of my weekly visits with Saby were a delight. I don’t know if I’ve ever met a kinder, more caring person. Whenever I saw him, he always asked after my family and any friends I had mentioned on previous visits. He genuinely cared about my loved ones.
And what an intellect! Sometimes I’d refer to a person I saw interviewed on TV or a place I had visited in a foreign country and before I knew it, Saby was telling me all about the history, geography, architecture of the place and the former queens or princes of that country. I sat back and enjoyed the education this man of limited travel experience was able to provide me.
Saby, I will never forget you. I will always have you in my prayers. You accomplished something that we all can only hope to achieve – you made this world a better place through your loving presence in it.
God bless you!
Your Friend,
Tom Mueller
