    You were my first friend that I had when I moved up here 18 years ago. And it has lasted all these years later. You were a bright, beautiful and free spirited person that always had me smiling. You always have a piece of my heart and I will never forget you and all the wonderful times we had. Although my heart is broken I do know you are at peace. I will always love you and our friendship.
