My soul is sad at the loss of my dear friend since childhood. I love our lifetime of memories, growing up in Newton Falls, a treasured cruise to Alaska, and our annual birthday phone calls--even after they got challenging. I know you are perfectly healed in Heaven now and by Gary's side. I look forward to seeing you again! My heartfelt sympathy to Tim and Heidi at the loss of his beloved mother.
