To my best and dearest friend, we´ve been through some tough times together over the years we may not have seen each other physically all the time, but we were forever in each other`s hearts remember the time you call my mom and we spoke and you kept up with her you are a blessing to everyone you came in contact with. Our boys grew up together playing baseball, but I remember those days working at Meijers. You are a tough strong woman, and that´s what I admired about you. You stood your ground and you protected your family. I love you, my friend and I will forever miss you, but you always will have a place in my heart. You are gone but not forgot. Rest now my beautiful friend. Tell your mom and big Chris I said hello.
