My dear friend

I have had a very hard time putting into words everything that I want to say about my dear friend, Mary. First of all, we've known each other for about 40 years. We've known each other in our single days; we were at each other's weddings; have traveled together and shared many precious moments in our lives. I loved our long-distance calls over the years. I loved that she knew all of my family and always asked about each one. Twice in my life she rushed to my side to take care of me after surgery or illness. She was the person I shared my innermost secrets and dreams with and I was that for her. Throughout our friendship, I always felt she was in my corner. But the thing I will miss the most is how, no matter the circumstance, we ended up laughing through tears and joy. She always made me laugh . Already, most days I want to pick up the phone and call her to talk. She brought incredible joy and laughter to my life. She loved her family so very much. She always wanted the best things for each of you. God bless each of you and comfort you iin your loss. May God bless her and keep her until we meet again. Love, Angie
