Mimi,
I only wish that I could see you one more time... if only to say goodbye.
My heart hurts thinking of the months that have passed since we last talked..we were only a phone call away.
You are one of the first friends I ever remember and you will never be forgotten. I never expected to say goodbye this way. I love you Girlfriend.. Jill

Mary,

You were a special person to me and I have many memories of you. I know that you and Lori are together now, and I'm glad that you two can be together. Words can't express how sorry I am not to have kept in touch with you over the years. As I stepped inside your house these past 2 days, all the memories came back, as if they were yesterday. I miss Lori everyday and I'm thankful to have known her and you. I know you are not in pain anymore and I know that your with Lori now. My deepest Sympathy are with you and your family.
