My dearest friend, I miss talking and laughing with you. I know your treatments were not easy on you, but you were one of the strongest women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. The cards you gave me still hang on my wall and I read them often when I think of you. Rest well, my beautiful friend.

My heart goes out to your family. I don´t know your family but I know the disease because my son has had Type 1 for 30 years. You will all be in my prayers. I´m sorry.
