Always classy, kind, patient and wise. Time spent with my dear friend would fly by whether we were doing our chair exercises or getting her manicures done...or just talking or laughing. I definitely looking forward to great conversations..and filling her again ....while we enjoy one of her favorites: German chocolate cake together again in Paradise.

I can´t wait!
