FAREWELL LETTER TO MY DEAREST BEST FRIEND You were one of my dearest and best friends and I will forever miss you. Thank you for the memories I will hold dear to my heart. My love for you will never die. Until we meet again, you will be in my heart always. Farewell my best friend. Forever Your Friend, Linda *********************************************************** A Poem To My Friend I ONLY WANTED YOU They say memories are golden well mabe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart you hold a place No one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our friendship chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Author Unknown
