I think Karen (Wolflady) has made some excellent points. True friends always find a way to stay in touch and these days it's not that hard or expensive via e-mail, etc. Everyone seems to be heading for Florida! In the past several years I have had 3 friends move down there! Isn't Florida full yet? Seriously, I know with your upcoming wedding you will have lots to keep you busy and maybe keep your mind off how much she will be missed.
