Oh, Margie!! I've missed you, and the friendship we had. I don't know what made you end it back in 2010, but I wish I knew. Whatever it was, I am so sorry. I've thought about you all these years, and checked up on you through Google every once in a while. I didn't expect to read that you and Leslie were gone. My heart breaks for the friendship we'd had all those years ago. I love you, my friend, as that's what I always considered you. Maybe we'll see each other again in Heaven. I will definitely plant a tree in your honor. I just wish I knew what kind you liked.
