I remember clearly our last day of school at "Old Carver" on hill. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" was one of the most popular songs at that time, and Annie Charles knew all the words. "Yancey Derringer" was the most popular TV show and Jock Mahoney was the dreamy star we girls swooned over and talked about the next day.
Little did we realize how our lives would drastically change once we parted that last day. We went our separate ways and begun new lives. Now here we are, separated by death and all we have left are memories.
But, isn't it a blessing to be left with such wonderful memories of a pretty girl with long braids, a happy disposition, and a peppy step?
My prayer for you family members and friends of Annie Charles is that you become so preoccupied with the joy of her memory that your grief of today is lessened. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
