Reflections from the funeral of my Father-In-Law.

I was loosing my best friend to Cancer.  The call of preperation had come, the battle all but lost, and I was faced with the reality that soon she would be gone.

This really was not meant to be seen.  As I sat waiting for the call to come, I wrote this to try to ease the pain. I decided to post it here as a tribute to her. She was my colleague, my friend and my mentor.  "Inge, this is posted for you my friend.  You always told me I would be read one day."  
As I told her....
"She was admired for her courage, respected for her determination, and loved by many hearts!"

My heart will forever be greatful for the priviledge of knowing her. Lesa

I lost my best friend to Cancer a few months back.  This is dedicated to her daughter with love and gratitude.  The three year battle the two of them waged was so valiant and the end so hard to bear! Her name was Inge.  Please take a second to read my tribute to her in Peaceful Journey... It is seldom in this lifetime that you can truly say "Friend".

Let's hope you do better this time around.

in loving memory of the
ones we lost on 911
god bless them all

some times words just come in a rush. Children do that to you.No time ,no reason , no fear ,  no ,,, no touch . Kids.........
