I miss my carousing friend. She is in my heart, memories and thoughts always. We had a lot of good laughs.
Gone from our sight, but never our memories.
Gone from our touch, but not from our hearts.
Gone to be with JESUS, and awaiting for us there.
I love you my sister, my friend.
She was a loving and beautiful woman. I am very sorry for your loss. The whole family has been very kind to me and, it has been appreciated. I know my sister Nancy and all of Jim’s family are will have a gap in their life for a long time. My thoughts are with you.
