Your Mom was a friend of mine for years, mainly my days at the Highrise when I worked there, but after I was gone , we kept in touch through phone calls, she would stop by my house, write me notes, we would laugh and laugh about old times, our favorite TV show "Lost" and of course she would love to tell me what had been going on at the Highrise. I will miss her very much, she was a great "classy" lady!!
My sympathy's to her family.
Love, Carrie Tymkin

Dear Loralyn & Hyla,
I am very sorry to read of Jill's passing.
Jill worked at my family's restaurant for a number of years. Just wanted you to know what a wonderful young lady she was then.Jill was always a part of our family.She was like a secound mom to me and my cousin Mike.She took us everywhere and spent much of her time in the summer treating us to Seabreeze and many hots and burgers.I was lucky enough to see her again at the town hall and we laughed at the "old Times" and the fun we all had togeather.
What a wonderful women that i will always remember with much love.
God Bless you all at this sad time.

My dear friend:
You reached out. I was honored that you reached for me to be one of your listeners as you described your days. You decided to enjoy every minute that you could and you succeeded; you made the most of your remaining time.
Thank you for sharing these last couple years with me. Thank you for your gift of friendship.
