"Dear friend,You were my "sister of the heart." There is no way to fill the hole left by 32 yrs of friendship, conversations, shared hearts, families, holidays, vacations and more. I am so glad we both shared a passion for the Lord and know that our life here is only temporary. You were greatly loved and will be dearly missed."
