Dearest Laura I will never forget how we became friends in 1975 during Mrs.Lustigs algebra class You had the worlds smallest hand writing on the back of a pink eraser. I cracked up and we became immediate friends. We did everything together and for each other for decades to come. We shared thousands of laughs cries ups and downs together. Once you moved to Palmyra and didn´t do tons together anymore we´d be on the phone together for hours When Micheal left you and all of us my how life changed. But we stuck together The last couple of years really have been difficult on us I guess it was like taking a break I´m so very sorry. I tried to keep up but couldn´t. Then I tried to reach out to say goodbye and that didn´t work out either. I told you many times through the years and I´ll tell you again you are the most successful woman I know. You´re beautiful funny caring and sharing. I will cherish the memories we made together forever I know you are with your only true partner now. You´re one true love and soulmate Mike. May God grant you the peace and serenity you so much deserve. Thank you for everything you brought into my life. I love you like a sister Until we meet again dearest friend....
