Praying for your family's strength in this time of need. I will never understand why you never listen when we fussed about taking your medicine my whole pregnancy. But I thank you for the listening ear that you were and the friendship that we shared. I love you and will miss you with all my heart...May you continue to rest peacefully

I will miss my dear friend and cherish every moment we shared. I will miss fussing with you at work or on the phone about nothing and then we would laugh knowing that was our way of communicating. Thank you for allowing me to be your friend and impacting my life in ways you could never imagine.
Your co-workers and friends at SSA will miss you dearly and we send love, strength and prayers to your family.
God bless everyone.
