I just found out one of my best friends in the world passed away in 2011. I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences. She was always a light in my life when we were teens growing up in Birmingham, AL. before she moved to Pensacola FL. We kept in touch for a few years, and we visited each other many times. But then we lost touch, and I couldn't find her email anymore. I have been looking for her on Facebook for years. I'm loved her so much for the beautiful girl who made me laugh, who went to Journey with me and Tanya Mory, another great friend we had in common. We just grew up and lost touch. I'm so sorry.
