Missing you a lot my friend, wish you were here, but I know that you're in a better place. I often think and laugh about last summer (2012) when you and I decided to take adult swimming class. It was fun, even when you almost drown,(glad yu did not drown). We had a lot of good times and laugh, I will always remember you, my daughter, my sister, my BFF. Love your Friend, big sister and second Mom, The Wise Poet Devine

Irah,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom dying of cancer. She will always be one of my favorite people that I worked with at Bonnabel. I was so proud of her when she got her degree and went on to teach. She left a big gap in Special Ed because I depended on her "daily".
Her sense of humor was so wonderful. We would laugh about something everyday when she added "her 2 cents" on the subject.
Most of all, she loved your more than the world. We talked about you a lot and especially your talent with drawing. You were everything to her.
I will pray for both you and your mom. I will miss her more than you know.
Love,
Mary Burks

Tracy was such a special person. We met as fellow educators and quickly became big sister-little sister. We shared much of our lives, our hurts, hopes, and dreams. Your leaving hurt deeply but I know you are in heaven dancing now so that eases some of the pain. I miss how you'd repeat your conversation before we'd hang up but am happy that we spoke days before you went home and our final words were how much we loved each other. You are special and as always, we'd say --see ya later!
