You were oneif my bestfriend throughout my childhood, from 232nd Place to Stephen White, and then on to Carson High. We've laughed so hard until we couldn't breathe and we've cried together when life seemed way too had. You were my rock throughout my childhood. You kept me in line and mostly out of trouble. You showed me how to love unconditionally. You were my cheer leader when times got tough. You stood by me through some of the darkest times in my life & never judged any of my bad decisions, never laughed at any of my stupid choices in men, and somehow managed to love me and remain my friend no matter what until the end. Gawd I miss you and that infectious spirit of love and goodness. When I finally grow up I hope to be at least half the woman you were. I think if you often sis and wish everyday that you were here for you were truly my hero! Best friends forever!! I love you.
