These are all my great friends from back east... Oh how I love them..They were our dear grandparents while we lived there. They took such good care of us. We would meet downstairs in our lobby at night and talk with them. They kept me company while Tyler was gone to classes all night. They were such a joy to talk to and loved to see how big the kids were getting. They loved watching the girls run back and forth in the lobby.

Today I got one of those phone calls that you wish you wouldn't have answered. It was my old manager,who by the way is the best ever, calling to tell me that one of our dear friends had passed away. My heart sank as she told me the news. She was so dear to us and loved my girls. They thought so much of her and loved to bring treats down to her to eat. She loved everything we always gave her. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will be forever changed because of the love and friendship that these dear people showed us...

We wish that we could fly to Dc to show our respects and show our graditude for her friendship. They are the best adopted grandparents ever!

We love you DC friends!
