 I am overcome with grief and heart ache. My precious friend Monica that I have known since we were 19 years old, neither one of us had our first child when we met. Through the years we had our children and then our grandchildren and had each other which eventually we were separated by a few hundred miles between Houston and DFW. She is 2 weeks older than me and we were so different. She was so creative and could build , sew , cook and grow anything just to name a few of her wonderful talents. She loved to laugh and make me laugh until tears ran down my face. We loved each other's jokes and pranks from the time we met at Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Dallas right by Deep Ellum at the age of 19 all the way to our 71st birthdays just this summer. She knew more about me and saw me through two husbands. If Jimmy were alive he would be in tears like I am. I've never had a friend for that long and someone I could confide in about anyting and she could relate. Neither one of us wanted to lose the other and although our health was not the best in the world I never expected her 2 leave before I did. I guess its best for her because the pain of losing her is immense and I wouldn't want her to feel so alone if I were to have gone before her. While tears roll down my face and I prepare myself for her funeral on Sunday I thank God for the honor of being her best friend and the one person she could tell anything too and I would never change the way I loved or felt about her. I'm so sad that I can't text or call her and let her know what weather I was sending to her in Houston or that I had lost Jimmy or my good friend Lori Graham-Thompson or anything at all no matter how insignificant. RIP.. I will never stop missing you Monica Schultz Norton
