Mary, thank you for being the most amazing BFF that my Mom could have ever been blessed to have and for being a second Mom to me. I never had to guess or worry that you wouldn't be there for me or our family. I knew that no matter what I was going thru, all I had to do was give you a call or stop by the house for some quick kitchen table therapy that would make sense of everything and all would be right again until the next time. From the very first day that you, Charlie and you family came into our lives, you became our family and I never thought of you as anything other than that because the word "friend" just didn't cover how we felt about you and how much you meant to us. We now have 2 very large holes in our hearts that no one could ever fill. Not even just a little but I hope and pray that we are lucky enough to be reunited one day and that these voids will once again be filled. I will never forget the last day we spent together and that the final memory I have with you ended with a hug, a kiss, a huge smile and an I love you. I will forever be grateful for those final minutes and will hold them as close and as tight as possible to my heart. You and Charlie used to sing "I've Been Everywhere" and now you can say that you both really have been everywhere. 💕
