After many years we had found contact with each other again, only to have it be to go through this....God works in his own ways and maybe it was so we could both be there for each other. I am so happy that I got to see her when she was still able to enjoy the few hours that we got catching up. I know how much she loved you all, because she always talked about you...you and God were her life, which made it a great one. I will miss her more than words can say and will cherish the many memories that we made together. I hope that your good memories will get you through this....may she rest in peace....God bless... Love, Laina
