5 YEARS AGO TODAY AT 12:02 PM
Your Wings Were Ready But My Heart Was Not
I cried when you passed away,
I still cry today.
Although I loved you dearly,
I couldn't make you stay, A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove
to me he only takes the best.

I thought about you yesterday, and the day before too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and some photos in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. GOD has you in his arms and I have you in my heart.

One year ago today, GOD called your name so gently
That only you could hear
No one heard the footsteps
Of the Angel drawing near ...
Softky from the shadows,
there came a gentle call,
YOU closed your eyes
and went to sleep ...
YOU quietly left us all
I MISS AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH

A Letter to My Dearest Friend, Linda...
Time...It is 6 months and we would have been shopping the garden centers for flowers about now. I have missed so much without you. Laughing, talking, seeing, the enchantment of the statues, pots, urns, fountains, cherubs and fairies -- we just loved it, didn't we? :)
Your fur babies, Rags and Penny, have been spending time with me and have entertained many. I know that I am able to smile every day because they are a part of you and then, I remember us.
Your special love of life and the joy you brought to so many, I'm certain has left many tear-drops during this time. And time -- it all went too fast!
Remembering Your Memorial Service...it was so touching to see so many people who were there for you and they knew of our great friendship. It was nice to talk with people you had talked about with me...it was as if I knew them!
If I could be there in that Garden with you, sitting above the clouds, under a yellow rose covered arbor -- everyone would see us and would know that it was true...we were always "Best Friends".
Our Last Hug was a "Big One". I knew its meaning that you and I could never part. It was so hard to let go....hearts together.
I seen the pain in your heart, you didn't want to give up. You still wanted "time". I didn't want you to go, although I knew you would be going to a beautiful place, where there would be no suffering for you. That would all be over. We all MISS YOUR PRESENCE.
Your goal was achieved...you not only have the most gorgeous "Silver Wings" but...also a Halo to Match!!
And...Time will pass and I will see you again...
Remembering you Always with Special Love......Kathy (5-16-16)

We finally got to live near each other, for the first time, and I will forever be grateful for that time we had.
Especially Christmas, what a great day that was....
I was so looking forward to you and George coming here to GA in November, you would have loved it.
But at least you aren't sick anymore, and you are with mom and grandma,I know they were waiting for you with their arms opened wide.. Give them both a big hug for me, and I will see yall again. I love and miss you with all my heart...

I have to echo my Brother's sentiment, "You grew weary and weak and I still hoped you could still come back strong, like you had so many times before. But that wasn't meant to be." You told me in the past few months, "I'm tired of being sick" and now you can rest in peace. I am going to miss you very much.
Mike and I loved our weekend adventures with you and George. Going to farmers markets, schlepping through different stores "like gypsies"---George would say and always finding the best places to eat thanks to Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
We would talk about all the Food Network shows we watched and say "WHY DID THAT CONTESTANT DO THAT". You were the best cook I knew. I loved talking recipes and food with you and being your sous chef.
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.

On November 16th I lost a very loving and true friend. From the moment we met, it was as if I had known her for a long time. The two of us often wondered how we could have such a great time, and we were so lucky for our friendship. Holidays, birthdays, any kind of day, actually, was so special with Linda.
She would tell me what a wonderful cook I was, but really, I knew she was so much better. She loved gourmet, and that’s how she cooked. She always watched cooking shows on TV, but she was talented enough to have her own show.
We were always there for each other, through ups and downs. Linda and I always knew the right words to say, and we also knew when it was better to say nothing at all. In our youth, we were partners in crime, not that we’d do anything, but we’d pull of some pretty cool things (secrets between her and I). In our older days, we’d ask, “who’s idea was this?” as we slowly walked the garden paths in the summer’s heat.
Linda and I would shop for our gardens. She really had a green thumb. Whatever she grew flourished, while the things I planted seemed to barely survive. But my weeds, they’re gorgeous!
Linda loved to travel and I’d ask, “Where are you going now?” I’d tell her I’d rather be home with my animals and she’d look at me and shake her head. But, that’s just how it was. We went to her hometown a few times Grand Haven, Michigan. It was a beautiful summer town, and I enjoyed visiting with Linda’s grandmother and uncle. One time, George had a Fiero. Nervously, he let us drive out to Grand Haven in it. We were “cool” back then, 30 years ago.
Linda always loved my family, and my family loved her. I told her she was my adopted sister, and she was proud to be a part of my family.
I will forever miss her in my life. I will miss our visits, talks, laughing together, and shopping. She loved life and helped show me how to love life as well.
For 44 years Linda was so special to me. Before she passed on, I spoke to her in her ear. There was still so much I had left to say. Although she didn’t give an indication, I knew she somehow could hear my words. I thanked her for being my best friend. Her last words to me were, “I just want to sit here with you” and we did.
With my eyes look to the heavens,
“I’d love to see you again.”

She would tell me what a wonderful cook I was, but really, I knew she was so much better. She loved gourmet, and that’s how she cooked. She always watched cooking shows on TV, but she was talented enough to have her own show.
We were always there for each other, through ups and downs. Linda and I always knew the right words to say, and we also knew when it was better to say nothing at all. In our youth, we were partners in crime, not that we’d do anything, but we’d pull of some pretty cool things (secrets between her and I). In our older days, we’d ask, “who’s idea was this?” as we slowly walked the garden paths in the summer’s heat.
Linda and I would shop for our gardens. She really had a green thumb. Whatever she grew flourished, while the things I planted seemed to barely survive. But my weeds, they’re gorgeous!
Linda loved to travel and I’d ask, “Where are you going now?” I’d tell her I’d rather be home with my animals and she’d look at me and shake her head. But, that’s just how it was. We went to her hometown a few times Grand Haven, Michigan. It was a beautiful summer town, and I enjoyed visiting with Linda’s grandmother and uncle. One time, George had a Fiero. Nervously, he let us drive out to Grand Haven in it. We were “cool” back then, 30 years ago.
Linda always loved my family, and my family loved her. I told her she was my adopted sister, and she was proud to be a part of my family.
I will forever miss her in my life. I will miss our visits, talks, laughing together, and shopping. She loved life and helped show me how to love life as well.

Linda gave me this plaque the last time she visited me. She said if anything happened to her I should read this and think of her.
Why God Made Friends....He never intended for us to walk alone through life. He places friends in our path to walk with us. You and I have been friends a long time. Our hearts are intertlocked. And what we are together makes us stronger and helps persevere.
Friendship is a Gift of oneself to another. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful gift with me.

There were so many things I wish I would have told you. Sitting with you at the beach and at the Gulf Waters in Florida. We did see our dream come true, and actually enjoyed it for one season in our home by the Gulf. It's those moments I forgot to do or really didn't pay attention to, that I wish I could do over again. Life goes fast-I have found out, I've cried many tears in losing you and realized that you filled my heart in so many empty places. I saw you tired through the illness, but couldn't see what was really happening. You grew weary and weak and I still hoped you could still come back strong, like you had so many times before. But that wasn't meant to be. God made other plans for you, a long long time ago.
Til' we meet again.
Til' we meet again.
