Well Colette you ask for a party a long time ago and now we finally gave you one. You appointed me to help with your final celebration I hope and prayer I did you justice because I know if it wasn't right you would have something to say. I'm still in shock knowing you won't be calling to tell me what you have found at your favorite stores now but in time I guess I will just have to cope until we meet again . Love your niece Cecily

You have been one of my closes friends for many years, today I was told you passed away. There are so many things I would like to say to you, but like most I would put it off until tomorrow. You are at peace now, but my heart is very heavy with emotions of trying to cope with the realization that you are gone. I will miss you more then you could know. With your passing I will live for each day and take it as a blessing knowing it may not always be this way.
I love and miss you my dear friend.
