    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.
