Friendship Quote by Michelle Falkoff
““People are going to say a lot of things. And some of it will be helpful, and some of it will be annoying, and lots of it will get on your nerves. But they're saying it because people said those things to them, or because they found it helpful when they lost someone. They mean well." -Mr. Beaumont-””
