Guestbook

  1. Roxie is the sister I always wanted. She filled that spot with so much love and laughter, and I already miss her terribly. Our conversations usually ended up with both of us laughing so hard we’d dissolve into tears. Truly a wonderful, loving friend.

  2. Roxanne was my sister by another mother. We fought like sisters and defended like sisters for 68 years. Blessed be the memory of my dear friend.
