    I will miss my friend. We had great times volunteering together at the YMCA for many years. She made me laugh when I would pick her up to go work out. With her flip-flops on and having to have a smoke befor going in. She did start wearing shoes... - Posted by Joyce on June 16, 2023

    Thank you barefoot hippie for all the wonderful memories throughout our many years of friendship. The silly things we did and experienced will play through my memories for many years to come. I could write a short novel. Come visit me sometime. - Posted by Joy Vitali on June 29, 2023

    I DONT REMEMBER IF I LEFT A MSG OR NOT. I HAD NOT SEEN YOUR MOM IN QUITE SOME TIME. SHE WAS A BLESSING TO HAVE AS A FRIEND. I RAN INTO HER AND SHE ASKED ABOUT MY HEALTH THIS WAS YEARS SINCE I HAD SEEN HER. So MANY OF US SLOWED DOWN AND BECAME HOMEBODIES AND CAUGHT UP ON RARE OCCASIONS. I ONLY WISH WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER FOR A CUP OF COFFEE - Posted by Anita Valades on October 18, 2023
