She was a lovely woman! My condolences.
We were the best of friends at Highland. I was always so sorry that we lost contact after graduation. We had tons of fun, got in lots of trouble, but were as close as sisters. I missed our closeness. She truly was a kick in the pants. I’m pretty sure that she was the bad influence in our friendship. LOL
Bernie will be missed🥰
