today i went to the funeral of an old and dear friend. when i was growing up in dorval, her family lived across the street from us so we have been friends for at least 50 years. she would have been 51 years old in december, but will not see it. one of her brothers and her husband made fantastic eulogies holding back tears the whole time. we laughed and we cried and she had a great send off because it was a full house. she had m.s. and was in a wheel chair for the last couple of years, but that did not stop her, she was a dynamo. she was very involved with the m.s. society and had actually organized their golf tournament this summer, so there were many people at her funeral today.
as sad as the occasion was i was very happy to see her 2 brothers, one of which i have not seen in probably 33 years and the younger one i see every time i go out west to see my sisters since he lives in vancouver. i was very happy also to spend some time with the younger one's wife and i also met back up with their cousin who when she would visit them back in the day, i would chum around with. it brought back a lot of good memories!
sorry for the sadness, so i will leave you with a layout i did awhile ago of my bleeding hearts, but i just never got around to uploading before.

funerals are sad because it it's the end of someone's life but I'm a believer in the fact that a persons life should be celebrated and so it doesn't have to be a sad day.Still as I said to you 51 is still so young.
Thats a beautiful layout.
I'm sorry for your loss Patti! It is so sad to lose a life long friend. Sending hugs your way.
