I've lost my telephone buddy. Although, I've known her all my life just the last ?10 yrs did we hook up on the phone. I'm going to really miss hanging out with her because our talks included the current news and our many common every day problems. But she is pain-free and spreading her feelings all around. I am glad she is Blessed beyond words in her new
surroundings. I'm really missing our talks but I'll get over it just praying her daughter and grandkids and friends can too.
