Sally became my friend in the winter of 1991, I was a new Bartender at the " Banana Boat" , stuck in my corner, she and Bob came to say " Hello", from that day on she and Bob were my devoted friends , customers, party partners.
After 4 years or so there I left to California, always staying in touch, e-mails, phone calls and yes, visits, I loved her, she was always positive and fun, and I will miss her teribly.
All my heart to her, and to Jim,and her beautiful, adoring family,
Chiquita
Love Your Friend Chiquita.....
