Anything Blue Friday - Week 21

Hello World!  What a week.  Last Thursday I said goodbye and I love you to a dear friend who was dying of pancreatic cancer.  She passed away this past Monday morning.  I'm so sad to see her go, but I know she is in Heaven in our Father's presence!  I've very thankful that I was able to see her and love on her a bit before she passed.  What a joy of a friend she has been; full of fun and laughter.  Kristin, enjoy the Father and His love and we'll see you again! 

Welcome to Week 21 of:

  1. Kathryn - I'm so sorry you lost your friend to cancer at such a young age. That is so sad. I lost a very close friend a few years back and I look forward to the time when we can see each other again. We'll have an eternity to praise Jesus together! Blessings to you, Patti

    I am sorry to hear about your dear friend's battle with pancreatic cancer and death. May you and her family find comfort and peace from one another's love and support in the days to come. I also thank you for hosting during these difficult days of sorrow and loss.
