I am so sad...she was like a Mama to me, too...it's no coincidence we shared the same middle name and birthday, it was the design that God created for us. I will miss her sweet smile and personality. I will always be here for you, Lynne, if you need to talk or a shoulder to cry on. "A human life is a story told by God". ~Hans Christian Andersen Love you, Michelle
