Bonnie and Joanne, best friends for 60 years
“I literally cannot remember life without Joanne. Until now, that is, because she passed away all too soon this past May, just months after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She was my champion in every sense of the word. She never once lost faith in me. Not a day passes that I don’t miss her, think about her and feel grateful for all she gave to me in our 60 years of friendship. She is irreplaceable.“ — Bonnie

We lost Sharon 10 years ago to cancer. Since then, Margy and I have gotten even closer, and we both have made changes in our lives we could not have foreseen. We feel Sharon in these endeavors.” — Caity

Beverly and Renee, best friends for over 50 years
“As adults we have shared the joys of marriages, births, countless holidays and travel. We have supported each other through hardships like death, divorce and illness. Now in our fifties, we are both facing our toughest challenge of caring for elderly parents. Our families still live on the same street and a few years ago we found ourselves back in the place we grew up, providing care for our parents. I am so blessed to have this unique bond.” — Beverly

Linda and Deborah, best friends for nearly 60 years
“We have gone through every imaginable life experience together. The one constant that has held was that we have always been there for each other whether it was a congrats for something good, a pick-me-up for when we’re down, a shoulder to cry on, a sounding board, a hand when there were health scares or just someone to say ‘I love you.’ I think the secret to our friendship is that we always accepted each other as we are — faults and all.” — Linda

They were always there for each other and could rely on each other.” — Tanweer’s daughter, Saba

Janine and Lisa, best friends for over 45 years
“I personally believe the reason why our friendship has lasted is true love for each other, respect for our history together, and because we are the only ones who truly know each other — even more than our husbands know us! Whenever we talk on the phone or text it’s like we we’re 15 again, laughing and joking all the time. It’s rare to find that and we are very lucky to have each other.” — Janine
