    I will miss your friendship and kindness. I will always be greatful when you were there to encourage me and remind me through cancer to keep my faith in God. You sent jokes that made me laugh when I should have been crying and sent prayers when I couldn’t pray myself. I will miss you. ~ Sally Maloney
