So saddened to hear of the passing of my childhood best friend. Even though we lost touch many years ago I would often remember, with great fondness, the times we spent horseback riding and the many days and nights spent at the West Pittston house and Harvey’s Lake. My condolences to her husband, family and friends. Rest in peace my friend.

You left us way too soon and way to young.
You were one of only two longest and best friend.
When I think you it is with a smile
The times we had growing up and later in life were amazing ! God bless Agnes and my mom. If they only knew!
So my friend I…….
May the road rise up to meet you
The winds be always be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold in the palm
Of his hand
