Dearest Binka,
Thank you for the many gifts of life the you taught me, which gave me the opportunity to learn and grow. Thank you for the challenges, which keep me from growing complacent, and for my sensitivity, which brings me a greater awareness and compassion for the sufferings of others. Most of all thank you for all your love that you gave me. I will miss you, but I know that you will be in my heart.
Love you Adrienne
