Although we have been in each others lives for over 51 years, I feel so blessed that fate brought us together to share so much time these past few years. All the wonderful memories we have shared, the laughter, the wisdom, the tears. I never thought I would be given the opportunity to make you look as beautiful on the outside as you were on the inside. It has been a pleasure spending time with and really getting to know you. I am so grateful I came to see you last Thursday and pray with you for a while. You touched my life in a special way. I will always be grateful to you for that. Please give my Grandpa and Grandma Nonn a big hug and tell them, that life is all I ever dreamed it would be and more.
Love You Forever,
Your great niece, your hairdresser & friend,
