You became my friend around 1981 or so sometimes I cant remember but I know it was a long time ago. I watched you struggle with many issues during these years, but you have always managed to conqur all of them. This last one was unsurmountable and Jesus deceided to keep you in his care. Rest easy as now someone who loves you unconditionally has promised there will be no more pain or crisis to overcome . Goodbye My Friend
