Ms. "D" was my Sunday School teacher back in the late 80s. She also became my very best friend. We travelled to many states together. She was a fun and funny person. The best dresser I every seen. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope - -I'm glad GOD put me in her life. I will surely miss her dearly.
