To My Mary.
Best friends the last few years. Had many good times, lunches, talks over coffee, Well sweet Mary I'll be seeing you soon in Haven.
I know you are so happy to see your family there, for sure you are back with your Mom.
 Nice to be young again.
 My Love For Our Father and you always Irene

My best friend, confidant, surrogate mother
Francis & I lived right across the street from each other. After my husband's Mom, Betty, passed away, we became more than just friends. As I called her "Miss Francis", I knew I could always count on her, no matter what. Whether we just sat at her house & watched TV or just talked about everything,from "Big Momma" and her earlier days with her beloved husband, Lee, we always laughed. Some of the stories she told me would always bring me out of a bad mood and we would just crack up. I have lost most of my family & Miss Francis was always there for me. I truly miss my best friend & always will, but I am glad she is not in any pain now & home with Jesus & Lee, not to mention her brother, daughter Martha & more. She was such an inspiration for me and will truly be missed. I keep looking across the street expecting to see her still. My heart goes out to her family!! Just know I will never forget the times & laughter we had together. With great respect and love, Always June

Dearest "Family"-Ginny, Mike, Donna, Children & Grandchildren: "Auntie Frank" as she was affectionately known to the Langendorfer kids growing up, has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. She and my Mom, 'Janie' (as Auntie Frank referred to her), were best friends for a lifetime. She was at our weddings and baby showers (and even my grandkids' baby showers!), always with a smile and her positive energy. How ironic that I was getting ready to pick up the phone TODAY, to arrange to see her for her upcoming 90th birthday, when I got your email. My heart is broken. She is the last of our families' little "Rat Pack". The things those two women did in love, fun and support of each other is legendary. Their friendship was a lifelong one. I will miss her once 'fiery' spirit (and red hair!), her kindness, her Southern drawl, her sense of humor, her 'gum cracking' (she taught ME how to do it, something my mom always hated!). Most of all, I will miss her love and kindness. Rest easy now, finally out of pain! I'm sure you and Mom are celebrating with all our loved ones up in Heaven! God bless you. We will miss you but know you will be in our hearts FOREVER! I love you....Shari
