Are friendship goes way back to when our dads were both involved with midget race cars. Then years of attending schools together. What I will miss the most about our friendship is her laugh. She always found something to laugh about and it was contagious. Praying for all those we knew and loved her! Love and hugs, Diana (Crabb) Buddi
