Losing you and my mother just a few months apart hurt my soul. The decades of friendship that we had will always be some of my favorite memories. We grew up together, raising our children learning who we are. So many things we were there for each other over the last 33 years the one that I will never forget is you becoming an ordain minister to marry my husband and I a day I will never forget and so thankful you were a part of it. I am thankful that you don´t need to fight the voices anymore and now you can just rest your exhausted body, my friend. You are already so greatly missed. I love you forever.April

The news of your passing was devastating. Every time I saw you, you´d remind me of the time you caught me behind the couch eating a whole Sarah Lee cheese cake. So in honor of you´re passing I´ll be sure to eat Sarah Lee cheese cake. Love you aunt Lisa
