  6. When I open the paper on yesterday I couldn’t believe what I saw your name stating you had passed. You are a good friend we met later in your time and right before you are diagnosed with kidney failure. We sometimes rode to work together sometimes we rode home together we ate on breaks at work we laugh together and cry together. You always had a kind heart. Always remember my friend Diane. My condolences go out to the Mario,big boy and the rest of the family. No more suffering,take your REST. Valerie Berthony
