There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US

G.A.

My friend G. A. died a few days ago. She slipped on some ice hit her head and never recovered.



I have not seen her in years. She moved to Dallas along time ago and I just found out today at her visitation that she moved back here less than a month ago to be near her mom.



Just the other day when I was having lunch with another friend and her husband he ask me who I hung out with in school. I forgot her!! And she was one of my closest friends. How awful is that?



Today I want everyone to know that G.A. was one of my dearest, closest and best friends. I will miss her deeply. I will never forget her again and may she be in God's arms tonight. And please pray for her family.

    I am so sorry that you have lost a dear friend. I do know how that is. I hope her mother will be able to handle the grief. My mother has some bad days since my brother's death in Nov. Sometimes I forget that she has time on her hands to think about him & miss him more than I do.

    Sadness...it is so hard to lose a childhood or school friend. Mine past away in 1984, she was in her mid 30's. I pray for strength for you and her family to go through this time.

    Karen,

    I am so sorry to hear of your friend's passing. Please don't beat yourself up over forgetting to include her when you were discussing High School friends. You have a lot on your plate. Give yourself a break. I will keep you and your friend and her family in my prayers.
