I am so happy I was able to be with you your during your final days and I hope you're not too mad at me for making you do certain things! I know I will see you someday and this gives me much comfort. Please do not give GOD a hard time, with you gone, we all need HIM just a bit more! SMOOCH!

My dear friend, for over 50 yrs, I shall forever miss you. We were going to go into the same nursing home and play Liverpool, but you went too soon. I am very happy to have spent your last days with you. Even though you were a bit stubborn about your meds and oxygen. That's how you were all your life though, until the very end. I love you!! Michele I am so sorry for your loss, but you are a strong woman, like your Mom. You will forge ahead as usual. I love you and if you need anything, please let me know.
