This is for my friend Gary who passed away 13 years ago on Valentines Day. Ever since, that has been a hard day to figure out for me. The dimes are significant too. Long 'Dime Story' but I know whenever I find a dime, angels are around. I know when I find a dime in a weird place, or just when I need it, I think Gary is there with me, being my forever friend like he promised when we were just kids.
i dont see the wording as important. "friend" can mean many different things to different people. the important thing is that you made a memorial for your friend gary. well done and a very sweet idea.
