My friend oh how this took me by surprise we have known each outher since we were young. We were high School buddies when Yvette called me and told me you had transition it shocked and when she told me you were home I was relieved because to know you were home with family brought a sense of relief. Rest on friend I’m gonna missed your encouraging messages but I know you are at peace now and I am so glad you had a chance to taste some of my husband candy when he mailed it to you and that you enjoyed it.
