Lord, Jesus - after searching for my friend again, this popped up. I didn't know.
This beautiful lady & I were friends from Jr. Daughters from high school years - she was in Biloxi and I lived in Pascagoula. I still have a letter she wrote to me after re-uniting in New Orleans. We lost track of each other until one of her relatives re-connected us & she was having major health issues. Thanking God for the opportunity of great times & friendship we shared.
