I am beyond devastated. She has been one of my best friends for 30 years. Her presence and smile would light up the darkest room and fill everyone with so much joy. Her laugh was contagious. She was the one constant person in my life that always wrote me the sweetest letters and emails through the years whenever distance would separate us. She always had the best advice and wisdom like no other. She always knew exactly how to lift my spirit and make me laugh. I know that she loved Ivan with all of her heart and her grandson meant the world to her. I don´t understand why the best ones get taken from us so soon. She had so much time left. The memories we made together will stay in my heart forever. I love you so much my Dear friend. I will miss you beyond words and I am so thankful to of had you in my life. Until I see you again my Angel...
