My dear friend, 

You were an awesome part of my life.  We were friends/neighbors since grade-school.  I miss you so much. You were such an amazing friend.  You spread your sunshine everywhere you went. Your jokes, your laughter, your charm and especially your heart left a huge void in so many lives....especially in mine.  How I miss your daily phone calls that just brightened my day...I could feel the love through each call.  

You were the life of any party and I know that you are rejoicing up in heaven and being the life of the party there.  You are pain- free now and dancing ( I know you are...your absolute favorite thing to do) and that is the only comfort I have my friend....I miss you so much.  

Till we meet again,

Sylvia.
