My dear friend, Sheila.........
i will miss you so much, but i know now you are out of your problems your body has given you.
I haven't seen you much lately, but I have kept in touch, i will miss our phone calls.
In the past we were probably best friends, and we sure had a lot of fun. I have all those memories, no one nor time can take them away. Sometime, somewhere, we will raise h*** again, and show them how it's done.
We were good at that:)
My condolences to your family, you loved them so.
