I will miss you my long time friend. I’m going to miss you saying “what’s up” when I would call you. I’m glad we remained friends and kept in touch after we retired. Until we meet again my friend, in that beautiful forever home, where there is eternal peace and tranquility. Bye for now but not forever.
She was such a beautiful person. We were classmates together at Faulk and class of 1975.
