A Dear Friend

They say I've lost a dear friend And time will heal the pain I say it is not a true loss Just a break till we meet again They say I will get over it And smile again some day Yes, I can smile once more Hurt has yet to go away They say the memories will help Keep them in my heart always That is the easiest part to do I’ll remember you all my days They say you will get over it And learn to move on and live I will never forget your sweet love You had so much more to give

Hi, Betty. Dear friends are a gift to us and even after they are gone they are always with us. You were very fortunate to have such a friend and I enjoyed the tribute.... Robert.

Thank you..She has been gone for 3 years now and I miss my best friend. She helped me get through losing my husband and my sister. A good person.
