A lady that I loved and I will miss. She would always call and let me know how things were going in her life. We had a special bond that I will treasure. Patricia, you are in my prayers. I know your days will be empty. Praise the Lord, she is no longer suffering. She told me many times that she was ready to go 'home" that she was tired of the fight here on earth. Now she has a home in heaven, sitting at the feet of Jesus. I can see the bright lights shine, it's just about home time, I can see the Father standing at the door......Lord I;ve never been this homesick before.
