I recently attended a small meeting of alumni from my high school. We were planning an alumni event for our county-wide high school. It was a fun meeting and we got to visit with some friends that we hadn’t seen for many years.
Gregg, Linda and myself…
Dianne (Linda’s sister) and Russ…
Wayne, Richard and Vernie…
Vernie, our friend and former classmate died four days later and was buried today…
How sad we have been… how lonely,
how lucky…to have known and enjoyed a good friend,
thank you God…for giving us this friend for the years that were too short for us but just right for you.
Help us understand.
