To
my
dear
sweet
friends...
I
do
not
have
words
to
express
how
very
much
your
friendships
have
enriched
and
blessed
my
life.
Each
of
you
hold
a
very
special
place
in
my
heart
and
you
are
a
very
special
part
of
my
life
whether
you
are
an
internet
friend
that
I
share
the
computer
with
or
one
I
see
in
my
daily
life.
I
have
been
blessed
by
your
presence
and
thank
"God"
for
each
of
you
and
the
meaning
you
have
given
to
my
life. I
love
you
all!
((Hugs))

My
Thoughts
::
In
this
fast
paced
world
we
live
in
today, we
often
stay
so
busy
with
family
and
job,
that
we
don't
take
the
time
to
let
our
friends know
what
an
important
part
of
our
life they
really
are.
Nor
do
we
take
the
time to
say
how
much
we
care
or
how
much
we appreciate
the
gift
we
have
been
given
by
having
a
true
friend
.
A
friend
that
excepts you
for
who
you
are
and
stands
beside you
not
only
in
the
good
times
but
also in
the
times
when
you
are
burdened
with troubles
or
when
you
are
sad
and
blue. |
Internet
Friends
| To
my
internet
friends...
yes,
you
know
who
you
are
;o)
There
are
so
many
of
you
it
would
be
hard
to
list
you
all
especially
without
taking
a
chance
of
missing
one
of
you.
So
yes....
you
know
who
you
are.
So
many
of
you
have
come
into
and
shared
my
life
over
the
past
10+
years.
It
has
been
such
a
joy
sharing
time
with
you.
This
short
note
is
to
say
Thank
You
for
sharing
your
friendship
with
me.
May
God
bless
each
of
you
as
you
have
blessed
me..

This
is
my
best
friend
~Barbara~
Known
on
the
internet
as
"Pinkfly" |
|
We
met
in
1993
through
our
husbands
who
had
become
friends
through
their
job.
Our
husbands'
both
drove
for
Southern
Transit Transportation
out
of
Ft.
Smith,
Arkansas. I
really
don't
know
which
one
of
us
was
the shyest.
She
was
quiet
and
so
intelligent,
soft
spoken
with
a
heart
of
pure
gold,
gentle,
caring
and
had
a
smile
that
could
light
up
the
world.
She
is
also
the
youngest
of
the
two
of
us
and
I
have
kidded
her
about
it.
We
share
a
love
of
arts
and
crafts
that
drew us
together.
We
spent
many
hours
together
with
her
teaching
me
how
to
use
the
computer
and
how
to
make
graphics
and
with
me
teaching
her
how
to
clean,
paint
and
assemble
porcelain
dolls.
She
spent
even
more
time
with
me
especially
after
my
late
husband
passed
away
letting
me
know
that
she
would
be
there
for
me
even
when
it
seemed
everyone
else
would
rather
be
anywhere
but
where
I
was.
I
guess
even
for
her
it
was
at
first
a
little
awkward
being
with
me
and
not
seeing
the
husband
that
had
been
such
a
big
part
of
my
life
for
over
32
years.
She
made
it
through
and
with
her
friendship
I
made
it
through
too.
We
had
lunches
together
when
she
was
in
town,
would
go
shopping
together,
and
we
would
have
slumber
parties
at
her
house
when
I
would
go
to
visit.
As
time
has
gone
by
she
has proven
so
many
times
in
so
many
ways what
true
friendship
is!
I
sometimes
lovingly call
her
"Ms.
Pink"
When
her
name
comes
up
in
conversation with
others
I
call
her
"Best
Friend" She
has
truly
earned
the
title
! I
know
that
she
will
be
there
for
me
if
ever
I
need
her
and
if
ever
she
calls
I
will
be
there
for
her.
Thank
you
for
being
the
special
lady
you
are
and
for
always
being
there
for
me! I
love
you
dear
friend
!!

Loving
Friend
Always...Irene

The
Gift
of
Friendship
~
|
Friendship
is
a
priceless
gift
That
cannot
be
bought
or
sold,
But
it's
value
is
far
greater
Than
a
mountain
made
of
gold
For
gold
is
cold
and
lifeless,
It
can
neither
see
nor
hear,
And
in
the
time
of
trouble
It
is
powerless
to
cheer
It
has
no
ears
to
listen,
No
heart
to
understand,
It
cannot
bring
you
comfort
Or
reach
out
a
helping
hand
So
when
you
ask
God
for
a
Gift,
Be
thankful
if
He
sends
Not
diamonds,
pearls
or
riches,
But
the
love
of
real
true
Friends.

Teresa |
| This
is
another
lady
that
I
call
best
friend
...
We
were
at
work
when
I
snuck
this
picture
of
her
as
she
does
not
like
to
have
her
picture
taken.
This
is
not
a
good
picture
of
her,
the
lighting
was
horrible
and
for
some
reason
when
I
took
the
picture
and
it
was
downloaded
it
had
ripples
from
top
to
bottom
all
through
it.
She
is
much
prettier!
Although
she
comes
in
a
small
package,
as
they
say,
she
has
a
heart
as
big
as
Texas,
has
enough
energy
to
be
two
people
and
seems
to
go
from
sun-up
to
sundown.
I
met
Teresa
in
1999
after
going
to
work
as
a
temporary
at
the
same
company
that
she
works
for.
We
met
one
day
late
that
fall
when
I
was
coming
back
from
a
break.
I
had
worn
a
light
weight
jacket
because
the
days
were
getting
cooler
with
winter
drawing
near.
The
jacket
had
a
Southern
Transit
logo
on
it
and
she
stopped
to
ask
me
how
I
had
gotten
it.
As
things
turned
out
her
husband
had
also
worked
for
Southern
Transit
along
with
my
friend
Barbs'
husband
as
well
as
mine.
Over
the
five
+
years
that
I
worked
there
we
became
not
only
friends
but
best
friends.
She
and
her
husband
brought
me
out
of
my
shell
of
mourning
and
back
to
the
world
of
the
living.
She
and
her
honey
would
take
me
dancing.
Oh
my
goodness
what
a
site
I
must
have
been.
LOL
She
would
just
laugh
with
me
and
help
me
forget
my
troubles
and
sorrow.
She
hasn't
changed
much
