This one is a hard hit! Our hearts simply were not ready for this, but God has the final say. We had talked of seeing each other in Sept to celebrate our 50th high school class reunion. So many memories flood my mind now of our wonderful friendship of over 55 years: The cheerleader, the sister, the friend, the woman of God..... has transitioned on to glory. She is with our Lord and Savior which was her ultimate goal. Thank you Lord for allowing me to share such an endearing friendship with this amazing woman. My sincerest condolences to her entire family and friends. Mary (Wilson) Brown
