Dear Ones,
Life goes by so fast at times and others seems to drag. It is so very warm and comforting to have sweet memories of the times that have sped away. They can always be retrieved during those painfully void spaces.
I can see her now, sitting in my kitchen. What a smile she had. What a sweet, melodious, quiet voice. What a charitable,optimistic outlook on life. Those and other memories I treasure. When I was down she always had some wonderful something to offer. I loved her. She will be forever missed.
