Doris, To say goodbye to you is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. You were not only my friend, you were more like family. We became friends 16 years ago when our sons were just first graders. Their friendship grew and so did ours. Our families became intertwined and the rest is history. I'm glad I had the opportunity to tell you on so many occasions how much we loved you and appreciated the friendship we shared. Thanks for the many times you kept my child and cared for him as if he was your own, and I will continue to do the same for your children. Thank you for sharing the cookouts, outings and family gatherings with us. Thank you for being the sweet, kind person you were. Thank you for your laughter and your smile. Thank you for being my sister and my dearest friend. ======================================= Really Gonna Miss You (As song by Smokey Robinson) Really gonna miss you Its really gonna be different without you Time is gonna be hard and slow For the rest of my life Gonna be thinking about you (yes I am) Time came when you had to go I'll miss you my buddy I'll miss you my friend I promise my love for you will never end In your finest hour I was there with you And without you things wont be the same But there's a higher power that we answer to And you heard him calling your name Really gonna miss you Everything about you your smiling face I know you want us all to be strong Really gonna miss you I know your going to that magic place Singing you a brand new song I'll miss you my buddy I'll miss you my friend Love, "Linda Gail"
