Dear, Bob, Tom, Gregg, Jeff. Dennis, and Lynmarie,

Too soon, too soon. My life will never be the same. She was the perfect friend and I loved her like the sister I never had.
From third grade at O.L.A to our graduation. and then on to St. Mary's , then to Madigan's.for our after school jobs.
We were always together.
You all were blessed to have such a wonderful and loving mother.
She is in heaven now with God, her Mom and Dad and Mary and Kay. Condolences to all of you and your families.

Love and sorrow, for all of us.
