Goodbye

Dear Friend, I remember the good times;
Working hard and calling it fun.
We toiled as a team together,
So proud of our efforts when done.

"I'll go if you'll go," was our motto,
We toured, took classes and played.
We laughed and we partied together
And there were the times when we prayed.

We shared some of life's saddest moments
And we shared the happy times too.
I count you as one of God's blessing as I
Say my sad, last goodbye to you.

With love for Barbara,    by: Joyce

losing a friend or loved one can be emotionally devastating. my deepest sympathy dear Joyce.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Joyce~
It is always so sad to have to say that last goodbye to a dear friend~
I'm sure that Barbara was special in your life and left you many memories to draw on through the missing~

Dear Joyce:  I know how painful a time this is for you, as I recently lost a long-time friend too!  We'd known each other for 35 years and it leaves a big gap in your life. I'm so sorry you have lost Barbara! God Bless!

Love

Joyce, understanding your sorrow.I have recently paid my last visit to a long time close friend. It doesn't get better does it?
But the long bonding and many memories softens the loss and it will be easier soon. best to you. martyjo

Yesterday was her memorial service.  She'd had a wonderful life and experiences that evenher good friends were unaware of.  Joyce
