I miss my BFF friend Helen more than words can convey, friends since we were 6 and she died 2014. So sorry to hear about Claudette. It is harder to form friends as we age and of course there is not the long standing history either. I did put myself out there with "young" Sheila. And braced myself for dismissal or that awful "let's do coffee some time." But she is equally enthusiastic. Having said that I have been approached by others by there is something missing and I do that "let's do coffee" thing.<br /><br />XO<br />WWW<br />Wisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-25168029655044931182019-02-23T20:23:28.806-03:302019-02-23T20:23:28.806-03:30I remember Sheila Hancock great actor.
