My dearest oldest friend- how I will miss you. We shared our lives from girlhood through marriage, babies and all that life entailed. Your laugh and friendship lit my life. Rest in peace knowing that I loved you.
My darling godmother will be so missed. Her laugh and joyful approach to life will be something that will always stay with me. Dad always said she was the life of the party and Mom could not have had a better lifelong friend. My deepest sympathies to all.
