Barb,
While I am praying for you my heart is hurting, because I will miss my "buddy". All the times we would fuss at each other from across the street. I can truly say we were friends. I saw him mature in the faith, and cling to God as his source. I pray for you and will always have my door open for you to come in and just sit. Much love and prayers.
