Friendship

Our friendship began the first time we met so many, many years ago. We will never forget the fun times we shared at the shore, boating, raising our children, those crazy New Year Eves, cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean, FL trips and so much more.  Regret that we aren’t able to be there in person to say our good byes but wait for us in heaven.
