She was a good listener and a good talker and together we shared many tears and laughter. She loved her family so much, so many stories shared of our families and grandkids. Im going to miss going to the casinos, shopping at the outlets,going out for dinners and just talking to her till the wee hours. I know Brian must be happy he has his other half with him in heaven. I just thank GOD that I had both of them in my life and that i have such GREAT memories to keep with me forever.
