My Friend Marybeth......my TRUE friend in every sense of the word. Friends in childhood, we moved to Willimantic together in 1976 and made a life here. Stood by eachother through the happy days as well as the sad days. As much as i was there for her, she was as much there for me, no matter what came our way. We've been through so much together in the last 35 yrs. Since Vinny, Angela,and Scott were babies, they just assumed Marybeth was their 'Aunt'. School functions, dance recitals, holidays, birthdays, regular-days, shopping, out-to-eat, picnics, parties, graduations, celebrations, important times, not important times, endless summer days at 'our lake', our trip to florida, our cruise to bermuda, our yearly vacations, camping trips, and on and on....we did it all together as a family. Marybeth was there at Vinny, Angela,and Scotts weddings. There at the birth of all 5 grandchildren. They loved her as she loved them. Yes, my TRUE, TRUE friend indeed, through all these years! My stubborn,silly, big-hearted, loving, impulsive friend who laughed and cried with me. We'd get so mad at eachother for one thing or another but within minutes all was forgiven and forgotten..We found eachother in this world and leaned on eachother throughout the years. A HUGE part of my life abruptly gone, but the memories never to be forgotten! I'll probably pick up the phone to call you for many days to come before i realize you're not there. Thank-You Mary "friends always" (we would say) I love you Mary............................Lynn (After all,Didn't we see Elvis together!!!???!!!)
