We were like twins in school from the 1st grade until graduation. We were supposed to go into the service together, but I was too young to enlist on my own. We had plans, we had BIG plans! Life separated us. But we were soul sisters and I'm sad this beautiful soul left this world so soon. My deepest condolences to the family.
