One week ago I received the devastating news that my best friend had died. Today was her funeral and I like to tell you what I said to the people that were there.
I introduced myself and "I am Jennifer, and I knew Kim since high school. When asked to speak here today I was not sure I would. What could I say about Kim when all I could think about was me? About how Kim was my BEST friend and how I would miss her. Then I thought,when someone dies, it is those who are left behind, here, that carry on the memories. So with that in mind, I'd like to tell you what Kim Moyer meant to ME . She was my BEST friend ! The kind of friend there is only one of, the kind that is never replaced. Kim was the one I brought my joys and sorrows to. Kim was the only person who would give an honest opinion, even if it was not what I wanted to hear. And I thanked her for that. Kim was the only person close enough to me to ask a favor of. Which to me, is the ultimate test of friendship. Knowing that the words "Can you do me a favor?" would not be viewed as a burden on your time. But I guess the thing that we did the best was LAUGH. It will be a long time until I can REALLY laugh again. She was generous, fun, caring, helpful, a devoted long time friend.....and that is what Kim meant to me" Thank you
