74' Girls

Shared by Peggy Gentile-VanMeter on May 1, 2018

   Many of us met when we were five, but all of our friendships began when we were in 9th grade at BHS.  We have such great memories from our younger days. Our friendships have lasted almost 50 years, some even longer.  As life goes... most of us went our separate ways after graduation.  What a blessing when three years ago we all began to meet once a month to celebrate our lives.   Fate brought us back together to share, cry, remember, laugh, (lots of laughter), and we made many new memories. 

Debbie will be forever in our hearts. 

Love you to the moon, around the stars,

past the sun and all around once again.
