So sorry for your loss. We actually became friends at the age of 6 and remained in touch with phone calls and holiday cards. My husband and I were at her wedding when she married Jim. Memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Lori,
I am so sorry to hear this. I texted with her not too long ago. I am so sorry that we did not get back together after reconnecting. Praying for your family.
