My memories go back to 1970 when I started working at Lipton Tea Company and met Joan. Little did I know at that time that she would become my best friend for the next 50 years. We both got married...she moved close to where I was living...our daughters were born one month apart and even when she moved to south Jersey, distance didn't matter. We shared many of life's adventures together...marriage, children, graduations, our children's weddings and the birth of grandchildren. These memories are what will turn the tears of today into smiles of tomorrow. RIP my BFF
