My heart goes out to Tim, Billy, Gussie, Jessi and her extended family. I will forever miss the times we could meet for coffee, even if it was years apart and pick up right where we left off. I will forever hold on to the memories I have of all the fun times we had doing crafts, taking our kids to the park and so many others. My heart is broken at the loss of a dear friend. Sendings prayers that God my give her family comfort. She will forever be in my heart.
