I am sorry I missed your services my sweet friend. We shared so many fun teenage memories from junior high through high school. On the few occasions we reconnected in our adult years, it was as though no time had passed. Your shining smile, giggle, and warm hugs will be missed by many. I’m praying for you and your family for peace as you enter the gates of heaven.
