A Crazy Jamaican Becomes A Great Friend

Little did I know when a crazy Jamaican became my deskmate that she would become such a great friend, such an inspiration and someone who would still be there almost 20 years later. I have never laughed so hard, eaten so much great food, met so many wonderful people through you, or learned so much about life and how to truly live it. I would be lost without you in my life and the sun just wouldn't shine so brightly. Politics would definitely be much less colorful! I have missed living so close and meeting up for lunch, dinners, holidays or just being able to sit down and talk with you, knowing you were never too far away. I'm also grateful that you have left such a positive impression on my girls as a strong woman with a strong mind - oh, and the fact that you can be more entertaining than any TV show! I do wish I could have made that once in a lifetime trip with you to celebrate your 50th and enjoy those memories with you. But, we will definitely have more great memories to share together, I just know and can't wait to see what they will be as we get out there for the next 50!

Thanks for your friendship Lizzy - I love you and I aspire to live life to the fullest the way you do and the way you have always done!
