I can’t remember if I already commented – but I wanted to say she was a dear friend and will be missed friends since 1962 !
Casey – I will miss you so much. All of your wisdom and advice – “You’re living your forever right now” and the occasional “hmmmmm” that would make me stop and think. Thank you so much for sharing your special place with us girls – memories were made and will never be forgotten. Rest easy . . .
