Dear Giz, 

     To our friends and classmates who read this, it may seem a little strange (although

from me-probably not) that I would be writing you a letter. I couldn't think of any other way

to pay tribute to you and our friendship. When I think back on Salem and growing up with

you and our friends, it is hard to hold back the tears. Some will probably attribute it to menopause-Ha-Ha- but you and I know it's not. I loved you for your smile, laugh, wit,

loyalty, bubbly personality, and your compassion. We had some great times-too many

to mention and some that can't be-Ha! My only regret was not keeping in touch after 

graduation.

     You were taken from us way too early, but it comforts me to know that you are in

a greater place. I think I can speak for all our friends when I say we will miss you at the

reunion and at some moment during the night, we will look upwards and raise a glass

to you-our dear friend.

 

                                                                            Love,

                                                                    Peg a.k.a. Peggy Ann
