Words will never express the pain I am feeling. My friend, my heart has transitioned to the other side. I will miss you badly. I can't wait until we meet again. You were a joy in my life, and I loved every minute. We had good and bad days but always stuck by each other. Thank you for always being there for me and allowing me to cry on your shoulder when needed. I thank you for trusting in me and being a true friend. You have a pure heart, and I will never forget our fun and conversations. Until we meet again, my dear friend, rest easy and fly to better places. Love always, Lisa Dunn.
