It’s not easy to say “Goodbye” to your oldest and dearest friend. Cynthia and I have been friends since third grade. We went through Grade School, Jr Hi School, High School and College together. She stood for me when George and I married and a year or so later, I stood for her when she and Tom married. Over the years we have stayed in contact with one another on a regular basis. If we missed a period of time between contacts, we just picked up where we left off. A couple of years ago she came to visit me over a weekend. I am so grateful we had that time together and will cherish those memories forever. Rest in Peace my dear friend. I will one day see you On the Other Side.
