Hello World! What a week. Last Thursday I said goodbye and I love you to a dear friend who was dying of pancreatic cancer. She passed away this past Monday morning. I’m so sad to see her go, but I know she is in Heaven in our Father’s presence! I’ve very thankful that I was able to see her and love on her a bit before she passed. What a joy of a friend she has been; full of fun and laughter. Kristin, enjoy the Father and His love and we’ll see you again!
