to my first best friend Gayle and her sisters Evelyn and Leslie Ann, It is always such a loss when mother goes, no matter how long her life may have been. I have such fond memories of your Mom and all the great times I had at your house, and with you for so many years as we had fun. I still remember sliding down 10th street hill in the winter, right next to your house. I think of you at this time and hope that all is well with you girls.
