    To my Best Friend,
    I miss you every day! I thank God for our friendship for the last 72 years.
    We shared so many wonderful times together, that I will cherish forever. I know that some day we will meet again and we will make more memories, until then you will be with me in my heart.
    Love you more, Schmidt

    Dear Marge, You will always feel much closer to me than just a niece. More like a sister even back in 1957 when we first met. The highlights of my life always involved our visits together, even if they were too few and far between. I am so glad for your last trip this way last fall. You are such a part of my La X memories. God bless you. Jinnie
