I've known you my entire life and it saddens me to say good-bye. Memories of us girls and the Smith boys growing up seem like a lifetime ago. You've left a scar on my heart that I will cherish forever. Much love to your family!

I'm certain this beautiful woman's prayers kept me safe during my teenage years. A true friend of my mother, they're now singing together once again.
