Month: December 2019

A friend departs to that other realm, heaven bound, and they take with them only their soul. Their impact on loved ones, family and friends, stays behind to push us past our sadness at saying goodbye. Then, remarkably, their impact stays with us for years after those first few days of mourning. We are most fortunate to have known a person that added so much to our own character. My friend Tom died this morning. It is comforting to know that he was giving a gift of friendship all these years that I now receive priceless encouragement in the years ahead. Tom, thank you.
