Hannah and I were friends from fourth grade at Our Lady of Mercy in Port Chester. She went to a different high school than I did so we went on to adulthood in different parts of the country. When our grammar school decided to have a reunion, I found Hannah’s number and we talked for hours since then (2019). In a way, we imitated the lasting part of our younger day friendship because in those days we spent many hours on our princess phones whispering and laughing, sometimes until midnight, when we should have been asleep. We had so much to say and those hysterical conversations and nicknames are lost in my memory somewhere but the heart and soul of our friendship is very much alive. Here’s to you my dear friend. Rest in peace.
