Kerrie Friedrich says
Dearest Aunt Cheryl,
I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you. I am also really sorry for making feel obligated to get me a typed writer one Christmas. If I had the chance I would take it back and wish on the pickle ornament instead. I would have wished to spend time with you instead. I am sorry for not being there at your funeral. I was living in my car at the time with my family. I was embarrassed and ashamed. I know you wouldn’t have cared but I really didn’t want to make it about me on the day I have to say goodbye to you. I don’t want to say goodbye. I still don’t. I think of you often along with Grandpa and Grandma. I wish I could have had the chance to paint with you. I miss your warm long hugs because whenever you hugged someone you really did hold on to them. I am a special Education teacher aid with three growing boys and counting my two cats, and puppy boys. I love you very much. I am still not saying goodbye but see you later.
