When A Dear Friend Dies....

To T. W. (Kim) a blogging buddy

I wish I knew of a thoughtful way to bring comfort to you at this time of tragic loss and painful sorrow. My prayers are with you and your dear friends' family.

A good friend is hard to find, hard to lose and impossible to forget. I think you were/and will continue to be that great friend/person to your beloved friend and to his family. So I thought I would like to let you know that I recognize and sincerely treasure this in you. Since my husbands been seriously ill, friends have been scarce and people remember who has there for them when they are in a crisis and know who they can count on, even if it is only a few words of encouragement. I am pleasantly surprized and moved at the care you give to mere strangers like me.. let alone what you do for those that you love. Thank You for being a friend to me and a friend to us all. I send my sincere condolences and my love to you and to your friends' wife and his 2 young boys. May God Bless.

as you hold me close in memory,

.....even though we are apart

my spirit will live on,

.....there within your heart.

when you lean on trusted friends

.....and their caring hugs enfold you,

within their loving arms,

.....I 'll be there to hold you.

and beyond the far horizon

.....when we'll finally be together,

where love will be eternal

.....and life will last forever.

I am with you Always
