She was so sad when I saw her this past Wednesday and she placed her left hand over her heart saying how much her grief hurt her.  We still had comments to laugh about and she shared her wisdoms and insights, as always, poignantly and eloquently. I will miss my friend who always encouraged me and told me stories so moving and so vibrant! Finally resting near little Mary Ann – may her grief be lighter.
