Mary it’s been 7 years since I said good bye to one of my dearest friends. You were a light in my life, my confidant, counselor and the best neighbor anyone could have. I miss you often. While you were walking out your final days of cancer you were selfless and bringing comfort as I was walking out a different kind of cancer. We were diagnosed within a month of one another. You asked me what you could do for me and your friendship shown through with my favorite meal you would make us, homemade noodles, mash potatoes and chicken. That could have been a money maker it was so good! My comfort food. I look forward to fellowshipping with you in heaven and worshipping our God together. You are loved and missed deeply my friend and sister!
