Saying goodbye

[Iambjm]

Have not been on the forum in quite some time. Sometimes life just gets in the way.

I come hear today to say goodbye to the third woman I met and became friends from this forum that has passed on. Seven of us met here, and shared a fun filled weekend at Appeldoorns on Mille Lacs.

While staying with me last week Hope Goodman passed away in her sleep, she was only 47. I discovered this when I went to wake her up to go fishing. She has had health problems the last 6 years and wasn't able to drive anymore. I would drive down to the cities several times a year and bring her to my place in Grand Rapids Mn and we would go fish our guts out. She was a good friend and a riot to fish with, I am blessed to have many good memories of all our escapades.

She is now an angel along with 2 other friends Teresa Zais and Tami Jensen. All three were a lot younger than me and is proof life isn't fair.

My condolences.  It would be a shocker to me to find a guest that has passed.  You seem to be handling this well.  My family will pray for you and your friends this evening.  May the Peace of the Lord be with you always!!!

Barb,

I'm pretty sure I remember reading some of Hope's posts in the past.  Sorry to hear she passed so young and sorry that you lost another great friend.

My condolences as well.
