I've cried, laugh, reminisced on all the good and bad times but before I close my eyes at night, the realness of it all just causes me to wonder why. I know that God doesn't make any mistakes and not to question his will but I also know that I am going to miss my friend yet someone I loved like a sister. Gwen you have no idea how much I am going to miss that crazy personality, big smile, and laugh. Most of all I am going to miss having a friend that never judged me and stuck with me all these years. To the family, I am here if you need me because I love you all the way she did. To my girl, my round, my friend for eternity this isn't good-bye so........... Holla At Me!!!! I love you bestie but God loved you best!!!!
