What a great photo! I knew she loved me, and she knew I loved her.
Jill Brunner Gordon says:
Marilee was my first friend in the world. At age 4 I rode my tricycle around the block and passed the house where she lived with her sisters and grandparents. I brought her home with me and proudly told my mother “look I found a friend.” We continued to be close for many years. I have fond memories of being in that house full of people and being treated like one of the kids. I thought of her grand parents as my grandparents as we hung around the kitchen while grandma cooked or all sat in front of a tiny black and white tv watching the Ed Sullivan show. She was a special friend and I have many important memories of that time together. Your friend, Jill Gordon
Vicki Vaughan says:
What do you say about your sister, your bed partner as a child and your favorite traveling partner? Will I ever stop reaching for the phone to tell her a funny joke or something new that I learned or share a photo?
Death is truly an enemy.
Until we meet again, Rev 21: 4
