Friendship

Dedicated to my friend, Jackie, who passed away last night. She is sitting behind me in this photo. This is our group that gathers every other month or so. We've known each other about 25 years. I have a few of these Christmas group shots, since we tend to have the Christmas gathering at our house. Jackie has been in ICU the last few weeks. We are so very thankful that our group met just a few days before she became ill. She has been wheelchair bound as long as I've known her and she has brought a great deal to everyone who knew her. We know she is in Heaven now. She will be dearly missed.

@skipt07 interesting you would choose that song...yesterday, they held a worship time in her room and that was one of the last songs they sang. Her daughter says she is dancing in heaven.

[Danette Thompson]

@mittens @365projectlinda @susanalena @skipt07 @pennystot @craftymeg @shepherdmanswife @chard @paintdipper thank you all for your kind words. I find that life moves fast and we need to take time for friends. I am glad Jackie ended up arranging our last meeting and I was able to spend some time on the phone with her and then at the dinner. Hold your friends near!
