What a wonderful life experience with your friend Louise.

I had a friend just like Louise. Her name was Marie. We always said she was my long lost older sister.

Sorry to say she died in my arms last Monday. We will be attending her funeral this Saturday. It will be a sad but happy day for me.

Marie never married and most of her family have either died or too infirm to attend the funeral. That’s o.k. Marie had my husband and me and we were her family.

I could write more about our experiences but those really are hard to put into words right now.

God bless the renewed friendship between you and Louise. Oh, by the way Marie was 97 years old when she passed away.

Always…Michele
