I will miss your longtime treasured friendship. We had a lot of good times and shared many special moments with our special circle of friends. You showed much courage and a strong will to fight, so you could enjoy a quality life and be independent. I knew I could always depend on you, that was a given. Whenever I think of bowling you come to mind. You enjoyed many fun times bowling & traveling to bowl around the country. I will miss you dear friend, but I am glad you are finally without pain and at peace. My sincere sympathy to your family.
Love,
Joanie
