Dear Gary, Steve, David & Family, It is with great sadness & an ache in my heart that I send you our love, sympathy & prayers at the loss of your wife, Mother & my Best Friend. As health reasons will not all, I cannot be with you, but my heart is there grieving beside you. I have a request: Will you read this at the Memorial for my precious friend. "more Than Friends" God did not create us with the same bloodline....but he might as well have. For you & I have mixed our diversity into an eternal blend of sacred sisterhood as stronger than any natural bond. As Gods' finger of fate allowed our paths to cross, we reached out & gabbed each other. Two crazy women clinging to each other as if our lives depended on it.We are sisters by choice....not by chance.
We accepted each other "as Is", no apologies, no excuses,no judgements.Whether laughing hysterically or crying buckets over some silly thing, we embraced what qualities each had to offer. That's the way a sisterhood should be.Maybe God did bring us together, two soul mates, two fruiends, two eternal spirits who will meet again, forever "Friends". I love you Belinda , gone.... Bur not forgotten, in the arms of Jesus.... Loving & oraying for all, Linda & Burt Vezina, Leland N. C.
