I Loved Suds!! Beasties in High School and many many years after. I called her Suds because she loved beer,,and I did Not! We used to talk about Everything. Nothing was off limits! We always said when we were 80 years old...we would sit in our rocking chairs and talk about the parts of our lives we had missed over the years. That will not happen. I can't imagine she would want to live life the way her life was towards the end. She was a very special friend to me. I am very very glad I did get to see her a few months ago..and more excited that I put a smile on her face. Her Wonderful husband and two amazing sons must be devastated to lose such a wonderful woman, mother and friend. My heart hurts.
