I am going to miss my forever friend so much.  We became fast friends when we were 11 and 12 and have never departed from that friendship (we used to laugh because our brothers actually took us out for Halloween when we were really little, only we didn’t remember that).  Even though we have not lived close by for the last 41 years, we have always stayed in touch.   She was such a great friend; I used to tell her that all the time.  She never missed sending birthday and Christmas cards every year.  She loved her family so much, and Scott, you made her so happy.  I am incredibly heartbroken for all of us that loved her.
