Dear JayJay: I miss you so much. Yor were such a special person in my life, one of my most treasured loved ones. Your presence in my life will be greatly missed. Everyone who knew you knew what a kind, loving, gentle woman you were. So many will miss you. I am so grateful for all the time that we spent togeter, "solving all the problems of the world". I will cherish every moment that I had spent with you, every conversation, every outing and opportunity to spend time with you. "How will I ever look at another carmel candy the same without you." You always worried about being a pain in the ...., I still say that you were the one who was stuck with me, and you did not get rid of me that easily, now did you. I find myself thinking about you all the time. I fondly recollect the last day that I spent with you, the Wednesday before your passing. How fortunate I was to have lost my earing and needed to visit you again, by the way, I believe that you had a hand in finding my earing. It was placed on the garbage recycle bin in my garage, Bob found it sitting there shortly after you passed away....nobody knows how it got there. Perhaps I do...our last vist was a typically gratifying one. I always found myself not wanting to leave you, I enjoyed you so much. I hoped that you would be okay and live for a while longer, one never knows when it will be the last time, I certainly did not know when I saw you wave good bye to me from the doorway that day...nor did I know when I last spoke to you just a few short hours before your death. I never realized that would be the last time I would talk to you. I hung up with a promise to see you tomorrow and your final words to me were, "please do". I love you and I miss you, but, you went on your own terms and in the way that you had wished...who am I to question? So, onwards we all go, doing the best that we can, carring the memories and influences of those loved so dear and who have gone before us. I love you, I will miss you and, I will see you again...Love Linda
