A self-proclaimed shadow Seems to be mistaken. For she is not a colorless silhouette, And she doesn’t fade or pass away… She is more then just words or grief, More then longing for relief… And she’s more then just The voice that’s always here. She’s a comfort and a friend, A solid soul, with spoken Love she offers everyone. Even when her heart breaks, When her mind aches, She’s been here, Vibrant with color, Hugs, and tears… And when she sees Your heartstring tugged She always offers out a hug… She’s one I call a friend. 'cause its true. He was a man of sorrows |

you are such a beautiful light Alyssa, you have brought tears of happiness and love to my eyes and right now, while listening to some sad acoustic guitar music, I'm so emotional, and overwhelmed by your friendship...warm and wonderful. Thank you, thank you sweetheart...still, those words could never be enough to describe this feeling I have |

Bless you GG, what a kindhearted soul you are! And you’re absolutely right. Our Dixie is one in a billion... ahh heck with that, she’s one a trillion! She’s not only always there, reading about every post, that I can see, and always leaving some kind words of encouragement for everybody. But she is so much more then that. She’s just the most warm hearted and down to earth gal you could ever want to know... And well... we just love her to pieces! And we’re all lucky, to have her in our lives! Bless you Dixie! I hope we’re still here late at night, writing poetry when we’re in our 90’s... lol Of course, I’d have to take a long nap during the day, and chug a bottle of Geritol... but dang it if we’re not gonna try, right? Dixie, What Can I Say, Your The Best! Your Friend, Richy |

all of you are such incredible people... I'm lucky to know each of you, to be in your lives here, and to have you in my life. Alyssa, I just don't know how to express myself. You have touched me more deeply than you know. I will cherish this forever. |
