************
Mandi and I were Best Friends all through High School and I can honestly say that I don't have a memory from High School that doesn't include that Crazy Girl.

Two of my Favorite Pictures of she & I

While on Tour with the Dance Company we hitched a ride on Shamu at Sea World

And were also attacked by Big Foot at Universal Studios
I miss you all of the time Mandi! Every time I drive past your parents house, hear someone laugh, look at old pictures, remember something from High School and also every time I hear a song from our past. You were such a Great Friend and I wish that we would have kept in better contact with each other.

Love, Your Friend Denise
