Sharon,
My friend,my friend from birth,I miss you, I will miss you for all of the rest of my life. REAL friends are hard to find and even harder to hold on to,but somehow we managed to hang in there. Despite our differences there was so much more for us to see eye to eye on;despite the times when distance separated us we still stayed in touch. This time the distance can only be over come by my sunset. Until that time rest in peace (with Allan beside you I'm sure you will) my friend. Love Judi
