Barbara,
My dear friend, We were no more than teenagers when we met, so different back then.You were so quiet and shy I never thought I would really get to know who you were. But slowly time changed that. And regardless how many years went by, when life kept throwing us curve balls, we would always come back together. We spoke of the joys and challenges,vented our sorrows but the one constant was always how dear our families were to us. Now I do not believe in coincidence but I do believe we were meant to be there for one another in this life.You were quite the warrior my friend, persevering thru your difficulties, rising to the occasion and showing us how it is done. But
this time, your wings were ready when our hearts were not. I hope you knew just how much you were loved. Shine on like the diamond you are.
