Santa, you were my best friend, my counselor, my psychiatrist. And you were John's "girlfriend" and Smokey's aunt. You taught me to appreciate what I have. I even had my own time slot for our conversations: 10:30 p.m. No one can take your place in my heart. I will miss you for eternity. Save me a place in heaven when you get there, Hon.
