Remembering Venus

Venus, my dear, sweet, gentle friend, has gone home to Heaven where she will never be in pain again. She was like a mother to this Jamaican girl for the numerous years that we lived in the same apartment complex in San Diego and I loved her like one. Her Christmas morning cookies were legendary! She always gave me great advice - like encouraging me to return to college and finish work on the degree that I had abandoned so many years before I met her. I followed her advice and eventually graduated. She was so proud of me!

Even after I moved to Virginia nine years ago, we talked on the phone almost every week. I really looked forward to those chats. I will never forget her many kindnesses and her friendship. She will live in my heart forever.

Rest In Peace, my dearest friend.
