At times closer than a sister, never less than chosen family, years could go by and we could pick up a conversation as if we had just stopped for a sip of coffee. So many places in my life will always have her image somewhere in them; St. Clair Shores, Camlachie, Omer. So much of what was positive in my life. We hadn't spoken in a while but boy do I feel the loss. Good night my angel, now it's time to dream.

Oh Marie, The conversations we have had and the stories you have told me about Art and Justin and biking and music. The great comparisons we made about growing up in Detroit and Chicago and living in Fayetteville. I cherish your memory.

Marie, my wonderful friend. I'm heart broken that all of our plans did not get to become more joyous memories.
What fun we had, rummaging through every Goodwill and resale shop in three states, holding our 'big' yard sale, our trips to Eureka and Herman, and all of our late night talks.
I will miss you so much, as you were the only girlfriend I had to share things.
I can't even get to say my good-bye. I'll just remember our last parting in February.
I loved you.
Bonnie Davis
