In 1976 Steph and I flew to Miami for a small vacation. Her dad got us tickets and my mom had high school friends that lived there. We stayed in their guest house and felt so mature and indepedant. We had so much fun.
From the moment I met her we were instant friends. Partners in crime as she would call it.
So many beautiful memories boating and hanging out at the house.
Thank you for the wonderful memories, Stephani. I´m sure you are in a place where you can be as happy as you made other people.
Blessings, Renee
