I am saddened by the news of your passing. Like most people that enter into our lives, ever so briefly, there are some that you never seem to forget. There seems to be some trigger, that brings out the memories and you often wonder what path their life has taken. I never expected to get a summery of your life in an obituary. I see you carried on the role of a care giver and this does not surprise me. I know you will be missed.

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my friend of so many years..It has taken the breathe out of me to hear this news. I am so thankful we spent thanksgiving together and that Nick and Dena were here to see you..I never dreamed I would be writing this because my friend I knew we were going to grow old together and talk smack about the old days..My deepest sympathy to JD and family...Martha Lou and family and to all that had the honor of having her in their life..
