Not a better friend ever to be found, a truer heart or a bigger smile. With honesty as her best policy, she was the noblest, funniest, sweetest person one could ever, be bestowed as a friend. I am going to truly miss our get togethers, our soul searching, husband bashing, humorous times we had together. I will always Love you like a sister and pray that you knew how very much you meant to me as a FRIEND God bless you and keep you Safe in the arms of Jesus Love Seestor Lynda & Ken - Posted by: Lynda Forman (Friend) on: May 01, 2006
