Lisa,
Thanks for taking the time to always be 100% honest, I loved that I could count on you. Also, thanks for allowing me the same courtesy.
You taught me so many things will always be a part of the person I have become.
I miss your smile, spunk and "gumption" but I know you carried that forward with you.
Until we meet again-
Annette
