Midge has been my dear friend for 91plus years. We were babies together and never lost that wonderful friendship. I will miss him terribly as we often talked to one another about everything. We grew up in the same neighborhood, played lots of games together with our siblings, went to school together, and carried on throughout life as special friends.My heart is very sad and I will miss my friend.
