I don't know where to begin, but we met in high school & you were a part of my life from that day forward. I cannot remember a day when you were not my friend. You were always a guest at my children's parties & later celebrated new life with me when I became a Mimi. You even stopped calling me Mary & when I'd call you, you'd say "Hi Mimi!" Then we'd be on the phone for hours. We shot way too much pool at Amicon's and almost became roommates! You babysat my newborn so that my husband & I could have some alone time, but she cried the entire time we were away. I remember the haggard look on your face we got home, but you didn't complain. You loved children, all children. My kids definitely loved you and called you Aunt Lala. Once you lived right around the corner from me & you'd stop by with your scissors to trim my girls' hair. Of course my son had to slice his hand on your newly sharpened scissors, so you stayed at my place with the other kids so I could take him to the ER lol I'm so glad that we were able to spend a lot of time together recently. God would lay you on my heart & I'd either call you or grab a pizza & just stop by to chat about old times. My heart is sad and I will never forget our friendship. I'm sending my love and prayers to everyone that loved and will miss my Lala.
