95/365 Annie

Neighbors across the street, we saw one another come and go but I never felt that I could get to know you. I really wanted to tell you how sorry I was after Manny passed.

94/365 Manny

A sweet man who was our neighbor and our landlord. An influential person in the small town. We would not come to know just how special you were until after you died. Thanks for everything.

We were thirteen. You asked me to 'go with you'. When we went to see La Bamba together my braces tore your lip apart. When my mom picked us up I thought I might die.

81/365 Gramma Marcy

Crocheted blankets on our beds. Melting Moments in the oven. Rocking in the chair. You were there before we went to sleep and when we woke up. Winters always seemed so warm with you around.

72/365 Lois Lane

We gave you directions to the Michael Landon's Celebrity Tennis Classic. You paid for your Dairy Queen dipped cone and tipped us twenty dollars. Then, you rode off in your convertible. Not on Superman's back.

A great nurse, wonderful mother and best kind of friend someone could ask for. If ever you need anything I'll be here for you, like you've been there for me. My door is always open.

When you guys sang it made Christmas Eve mass so moving. Although, the hand gestures to each note was a little annoying, each time you sang "On Eagle's Wings" or "Ave Maria", I would cry.

63/365 Aaron

We met in Spanish class when you beat boxed and scratched on a 33" vinyl of "Feliz Navidad". You had me in stitches. To this day, I think of you when I hear it.

My first next door neighbor when I moved out. You with your oxygen tank, a constant companion. After you moved to assisted living, I wanted to bring you Christmas cookies but I was too late.

Tony's Penguin

Two Christmas's are two too many to spend in the hospital. Your family did their best to make your room like home. You were a special person to us and each year I remember you.

A Pile of Leaves, 1978

"Andra did it!" That's what we used to say when our mom was mad about something gone awry, someone hurt or crying, something broken or lost. I'm not sure why but we always blamed you.

58/365 Scotty

Your mom brought you and your brother over for Christmas dinner. We all opened presents and played with our new toys. Later, I showed you mine and you showed me yours in my parents bathroom.

Katherine, Christine and Santa, 1978

Santa Claus! I couldn't believe it! I was actually meeting you in person! Christine and I sat, excited, awestruck, and rattled off our lists. You on the other hand... a picture says a thousand words.

56/365 Mrs Rangle

We'd goof off. You would call us 'Darlin'' in your twangy accent, followed by a clever sarcastic comment. Half the time you acted annoyed with us but I just know you found our antics amusing.

You lived two streets down and were always coming over. We called you "Ramona the Pest". Now, wife and mom, you have served our country and I am proud to have a friend like you.

At Montana's, Tucson 2006

My oldest friend (with the longest hair). You always reminded me of a character from Little House. Friendly. Considerate. Kind. Mature beyond our years. You are like a touchstone. Thank you for just being there.

Together we loved to see what Tucson had to offer. Hot chili and cornbread in Ski Valley. Midnight hikes in Sabino Canyon. Tohono Chul Park. Fond memories and many laughs. The best kind of friend.
