Shary and I grew up terorising our neighborhood along with Bonnie and many others. Life is life and we lost contact with each other. One day about 8yrs or so ago I get a friend request on Facebook from her. At first I wasn’t sure who she was, life, age, memory has an effect ya know haha. Once I realized who it was, of course I accepted. One of the best things I have ever done. We instantly became great friends again. One thing I remembered about her from way back when, was how much she cared about others and she never let that go. Such a huge heart in a person I am proud to call my friend. I could go on and on but there are not enough words to express who she was as such a caring, loving, positive person she was. Shary my friend, you will be missed. Rest in peace.
