*I loved our time talking over all those cups of coffee and the time we spent in the presence of Jesus. You were a bright light in the lives of those who knew you and loved you. You loved with all your heart and that is a special thing. I will cherish our friendship for the rest of my life. It was a honor to be there for you and I am so thankful that God put us together, I will miss you my sweet friend.. Save a place for me next to our Savior Jesus I love you.
