Barbara Lee

Dear Barb, I remember the good times, Working hard and calling it fun. We toiled as a team making Christmas wreaths, So proud of our efforts when done. We each served as Garden Club President And handled it all with finesse, Took turns as District Director And on to State Board, no less. Together we managed the flower show At county fair for eleven years, And then we took classes together, Learned to judge the works of our peers. "I'll go if you'll go", was our motto. We toured and we judged and we played. We laughed and we partied together And there were the times that we prayed. We shared some of life's saddest moments. And we shared the happy times too. I count you as one of God's blessings, With my final goodbye to you.

Dear Joyce, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Barbara. I guess all we can do is cherish the memories. This is a beautiful dedication to her. Love you, Carolyn

There is nothing in the world, as precious as a best friend.... I have had the same friend for most of my life, sharing every smile, laugh and tear. It is if she and I share the same skin...... It must be such a tremendous loss to say goodbye.... such a tender, heartfelt poem. Thank you for sharing your heart
