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.

    I am so sorry to read about the loss of your friend. For her there is rejoicing, for those left behind there is sadness. My heart and prayers go out to her loved ones, family and friends alike.

    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!!

    Sylvia;

    Am so sorry too, to read about your friend. It's so hard to loose a friend but knowing that she has her best friend waiting for her makes me smile for her.
    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.
