Goodbye to a Dear Friend



My great blogging friend, Bobbie of Almost There, died on Saturday. I will miss her.
She was passionate about so many of the same things that I am. She was a wonderful Mother and Grandmother and friend and she will be missed. The good thing is that she is now with the love of her life, her husband Ralph, who I know was waiting for her with arms outstretched -- together again and this time for always.

Hi Irene
è sempre un grande dolore quando si perde un amico... ma ciò che ci può forse aiutare è il grande tesoro di ricordi che abbiamo potuto condividere con lui.
Un abbraccio e tutto il mio pensiero alla sua famiglia.

Oh, I'm so sorry about your friend. But, like you, whenever a loved one has died whose spouse has gone before them, I always think about their glorious reunion in heaven, and it brings me comfort! Hope this did the same for you! I bet she's just GLOWING right now!!

Take care my friend.

I didn't visit Bobbie often - I can only spend so much time on the web, but I often came across her comments and she seemed a special lady. I read about her passing from Dianne. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Beautiful post for a beautiful person. I love your new header. Bobbie would have had a nice comment about it. ;-)

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
