Neenaw,
You always treated me like I was so important ( as we know I was not ), but you were so special to me and your smile was always there for me. THANK YOU for being you.
I always enjoyed our time talking in the past, we had the World problems solved, but no one wanted our ideas. Ha
We all will miss you so much.
Carmel,you were always so open and welcoming to me with such a bright smile and a hug. I am grateful our paths crossed. I will remember you and smile when I do.
I will surely miss the lady who always saw the beauty in all of us! She always made me happy to be around her, and was always uplifting and loving in every way!
