    Ellie, I am so sorry to read this.

    Friends do grow apart at times, and the togetherness that was shared is always so special. It stays with you no matter what.

    There is a phrase (if I can remember it right) about friends coming into our lives for a reason, a season, or forever. Joyce and you connected at the time when it was meant to be, when it was right for both of you. That is so special!

    I am sorry for your loss.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. What a shock!

    For the past month, I've a sticky in my purse reminding me to call a friend. We reconnected last year after not seeing each other for over 10 years. She and her husband are busy raising 3 sons and I've been busy with Bobcat and working in Prudhoe. I kept waiting for life to slow down, but it just keeps zooming right along.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm calling Katie today!

    Don't feel bad for long, after all, friendship works both ways. Maybe you can connect with one of her kids, and you can visit her at the cemetery and say good-bye there. I bet her kids might appreciate that, and it would give you a little closure.

    She never had any children, Karen, but I will visit the cemetery and see if I can find her resting place. She loved flowers and gardening, so I'll take her a nice Spring plant and have a chat with her.

    If you call the office for the cemetery, they can give you the location of the plot, which is always better than wandering, especially in some of the larger cemeteries.

    Oh My! I'm sorry. I can tell from your post that you are upset about it. I suppose she could have contacted you but she didnt. I dont know what else to say except I'm sorry for your loss. Try not to blame yourself too much. ((Hugs)) Kay

    I think that is a very good idea. I do that with my Mom sometimes.
