I still think about her everyday . . .

{from May 2006}

Goodbye Friend.

Goodbye to a woman who gave me advice like a mother.

Goodbye to a woman who shared secrets and laughed with me like a sister.

Goodbye to a woman who loved me like all friends should love.

Goodbye to a strong woman, who traded her sickness and her pain for the joy of the Lord.
Goodbye to a woman who showed us all how to love our kids a little more.

Goodbye to the woman who could make anyone a Falcon fan.

Goodbye to the only person I've ever known who saw everyone equally. I hope I've

learned that well from you.

We are grateful people just to have known you.
Grateful just to have been near you.

Grateful just to have been loved by your generous heart.

So for now ,with aching hearts we say Goodbye to all of you . . . .

for we know we will see you soon.
