I was so blessed to meet my friend Audrey over 45 yrs ago.  Knowing her was simply "to love her".  While I understand God only picks the best, my heart is heavy and empty.  Oh how I miss my friend.  She possessed all the fruit of the spirit-love, joy, peace, long suffering,gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.  From her strength, I drew my strength.

I know as time moves forward, I will understand and come to truly accept His plan and will.  Audrey beat me to the finish line, but He can't be crowned until I get there.  No goodbye, but I'll see you later my friend.
