Memorial

A dear friend of mine passed away last month and it took me quite by surprise and I have been struggling with putting into words how much I will miss her. I don't think that she ever knew how much she touched my life for the good because she was one of those people that has touched so many people's lives that I am sure she did so without even thinking about it. Shw was a Woman of God. Words are not adequate to describe how thankful I am for the life she led and what I learned from it. I pray that I may be half the mother and wife that she was and that I may be able to at least pass that example on to someone-somewhere. I realized how hard it is to mourn from a distance and my heart goes out to her family, many who I know and love as family myself. The world is a better place because of her and I celebrate that but I will miss her enveloping laugh, quick wit, zest for life and her infectious drive. I have also learned a valuable lessen-never pass up the promptings to call or write or whatever to someone you love and to tell them how much they mean to you.
