It has been a week of tragedy here in the mountains. Shortly after I posted my blog this morning I discovered that a dear and long time friend of mine was found dead. We are unsure of what happened, maybe a heart attack...my heart is heavy as I write...for she will missed by all who knew her...missed by me.
this poem has been removed as it will appear in my upcoming book
Oh my heart goes out to you Joyce "This Is Not Goodbye" heart touching heavily indeed. Seems she was very special to you indeed yes I understand "...I’ll see you later" at times these are the best and most precious words one could say.
WOW! Lady J

Oh my, the tears this poem evoked from me. It isn't selfish not to want to say goodbye, it is a symptom of the good times, the saddnesses, just the sharing. Wonderful heartrending poem, Joyce. Liz
Wonderful tribute to your friend who will always be with you and you will see her again my friend. So stack up all the gossip so you can tell her when you meet. Loved this and was very touched by it. Love, Bonnie
A loviing tribute to your dear friend. Its hard to loose someone who shared much with you!.. My heart felt prayers are with you and her family..........M
I wished I could offer you more than just my condolences, Joyce. What a treasured friend you lost, and what a beautiful tribute you offered here!
I send you my warmest, heartfelt hugs!!
Love,
Becca~
When you've had a closness such as you've descibed the sting of death wounds deeply and I am sorry to hear of your pain. You were blessed to have such a wonderful friend...you both were blessed, love holly
Joyce, perhaps she was more than a friend, a sister, your feminine soul mate, the one that knew, looking into your eyes what your heat felt. She will missed but not forgotten, because the remembrance candle will be lighted forever.
Sorry about the lost.
Oh Joyce I am so very sad to hear this news of your long time friend. Your delicate words to her justice as in your heart she will always remain. God is close and his arms are wrapped around you as he welcomes your friend into his kingdom.....
...everything we seem to hold dear in life...sooner or later...goes missing. ...fortunate to have held one so long...and so dear in your life...you and she...will both remember this.

Joyce, I play cards one time per month rotating houses with 8 girls,,we all graduated together,, and have known each other since grade school and high school,,, There are no words to express a friend,, as you share things with each other that is worth its weight in gold... I am so sorry for your loss,, but it is not Good Bye,, Just See You Later,,, Heartfelt my dear friend.
Love, Christine
I am sad for you, but you have done such a beautiful job, I can't help but take pleasure from reading the piece. The details you
include -- maternity clothes, recipes, gossip, fact that your children are the same age -- make your relationship come alive. It is obvious that it will always b e alive. While you have lost each other in the physical sense, you will always have each other's love and support. What a wonderful tribute to you both!! Brava & Brava!!! xOx 'Pea' xOx

This part of life, sucks bigtime. Yet it is the price of life, loving and living and dying. I so relate after losing a longtime mate, of just 40.
One must go through the grief, then enjoy the wonderful memories. Until it's our turn.
A sad time for you, may your heart find relief....

My condolences Joyce,especially as losing a good friend is really rough,since they are so hard to come by. I pray God will ease the burden as you go through the loss. Superb tribute!
Joyce, I am so sorry for your loss. There is a deeper, sometimes unexplainable feeling one has when the loss is someone close and personal. I wish you and your friends family deep and abiding peace.
