Joan I will miss you for ever . You were the kindest, funniest, loyal, closest friend I ever had. I still remember sitting on the rock wall out by the street, in front of our old High school ! Those big bushes gave us shade as we ate our ice cream cones. You , me, Josephine and Carol S. You held my ice cream cone while I took the picture. Memories will never fade of all the good times we had.
