Dear friends,

I will miss you all terribly. It was very hard to drive home tonight not knowing when I'll see you guys again. You all mean a great deal to me; I've been lucky to have friends like you. I'll be home to visit, and I'll call whenever I can! I love you!

And so I don't forget these nice messages I had waiting for me, I'm posting them here (without names). Thank you!

i love you Cathy and im so glad that we are such good friends! i am going to miss you so much! Be careful and call me!!! i love you!

I love you, and I'm going to miss you soo much, but I want you to have a wonderful adventure in New York and I hope you find nothing but happiness there, and be careful and don't go down dark alleys or in taxis with alien drivers and don't take candy from strangers, and make sure you still call and write, and even though I'm horrible about it, we have to keep in touch because you are one of the two best friends I have in the world and I can't lose you, even if you are moving away. Make sure you take Lucy II with you, because then you'll always have something of us, and we'll feel like a part of us is with you, too. I miss you already and love you bunches.

I am writing to you this way because I cant call you because I will cry. I want you to know how much I will miss you and the special place you have in my heart. You have created so many wonderful memories for me and been a part of so many others. I wish you all the best in NY and if you ever need me, CALL ME and when you come home, know that I will be here with open arms. Thank you for the wonderful memories, have a great time. I miss you BUNCHES! MUCH LOVE
