My Beloved Friend, MaryElla went home to Heaven today. When I was visiting her last month she insisted that I bring home some Teacups. We have exchanged them for many years and we both enjoyed having tea parties. The one on the right is her favorite one and now it's my favorite one.
MaryElla loved the Lord! She was an encouragement to me. We loved many of the same things, like, "Best Friends Always", do. That is what she called me, her "BFA". Decorating our home with our "finds", shopping, chocolate, making cards and crafts to name a few. Her friendship was a Gift from God. We have been friends since the early 80's! I will miss her! However, knowing that she is in Heaven, I have Peace in my Heart and I'll see her there.Thank you all so much for your prayers for her and her family.
Love,
deb

Thinking of you and sending your extra prayers and hugs. I posted this on my blog today. It's very timely. This conversation took place before bed Saturday evening.
Josie: "Mom, do you like shadows?"
Kim: "Yes. I like shadows."
Josie: "I think shadows are Aunt Jean and Nana following us around." I definitely like shadows."
You have an extra special shadow/angel watching over you now.

ME may your cup of tea always be full...blessings and dearest condolences. Renee
Sometimes I struggle to find the right things to say. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. I know that when you look at that lovely violet tea cup you will find it filled with lovely memories.
When I saw your title nmy heart sunk. So sorry. It is so good that you can feel that peace. I felt that when my dad died. He had Alzheimers and I knew he was in a better place. I can't say that I have felt this way with others that I lost. She will always be your best friend and you will see her again. Do you know the song by Mercey Me.......I can only imagine......I love that song. Just imagine ME dancing in heaven with Jesus. ((((((HUGS)))))
Aw! Hug, hug, hugs to you my friend! ♥
I'm so sorry about your friend. Sending you hugs.
Dear Deb, I am sorry for the loss of ME but know that she is at peace and that you had a dear, dear friend. Grateful you are at peace,too. Sending good thoughts your way.
I just hope that when my time is near like hers was, that I too would have such a loving and sweet friend that shared those moments.
I am so sorry you lost her but Jesus gained another one of His.
Sending you many hugs, and keeping you in my prayers during this hard time. Praising God that MaryElla is with Him and in peace! Blessings, Heather
So sorry for your loss...but your right she is in a most better place than all of us. Much peace and love..Janice
