I lost a best friend today...
Finally at a loss of what words I want to say..
You were the kindest person to ever know...
You did EVERYTHING you could for EVERYONE you knew....
I will miss your hearty laugh and all the funny things you said and did - You were "one of a kind" - "an original" - You did so much for me and then even MORE for my darling little kid...
Abby says you are in Heaven now..with Kinna, Max, Josh, Pepsi, Sally, Daisy -just a few I can remember now - but you had so many more...
You took care of all your animals like your children...
Your last final act of kindness was the Best of all - to Adopt a Homeless Shelter Dog that needed a good home...and them naming her after a lady who said when she died she wanted to come back as one of your animals....wouldn't we all want to be so lucky - and SOOOOOO lucky was your DEAR JOCIE....
This is getting long I am sorry - but how could I summarize a friendship that was such a Blessing from God.....
Terry and all her immediate family - I feel your pain - I and can only hope and pray that I will get to see and hang with her again someday.....
Sincerely, Margie Moyer & Family
PS - I LOVE YOU BERNICE
