My tribute to my closest friends ever in life. I love you and miss you very much. I owe where I am at today to each of you. Thank you for believing in me and not giving up on me!
This was taken the day I left Florida, as they all drove me to the train depot and saw me off!
Erin, you have been the best thing that has ever happened to me as far as a friend goes. I have watched you and admired you so much. You are beautiful inside and out! I have been so blessed to have you as an example of a wife, mother, and friend in my life. You have been beside me during the most difficult times of my life right from the beginning. I will never forget when you looked me in my eyes (which no one had ever done) and said, “I am so glad you’re here. I prayed thatyou would come.”Thank you for teaching me with out intentions or expectations. You are forever in my heart!
Pam, you are the second best thing that has ever happened to me as far as a friend goes. You have encouraged me and inspired me in ways like no other has or even can. You speak truth no matter what. I love you because you are one who will not compromise when it comes to honesty and integrity. I will miss our phone calls and our mischief ways together. I will hold on to Psalm 91:11 as a dear Scriptureand divine appointment from ourHoly God! You are my Pam Pam, my only pam pam. You make me happy when skies are grey; you’ll never no Pam,how much I love you…You have modeled more to me than any one person. Thank you for teaching me with out intentions or expectations. You are forever in my heart!
Sandy, you have shown me what a wife of man and lover of God should look like. I applaud you on your humility and commend you on your diligence in not giving up or in. You model real Christian faith and you will be rewarded. In my humble opinion, you already have. You bless every person who comes around you with your sweet spirit and kind words. I love and somewhat envy your gentleness and your ability to ask the Lord in every circumstance. I turned to you in times when I knew I needed a word from the Lord because my heart was hurting deeply. You are a very special and unique woman.Thank you for teaching me with out intentions or expectations. You are forever in my heart!
Susan, you are so amazing. You have modeled how “flexibility” should be. You have bent over backwards to comfort and accommodate others and put yourself last. You are a good mother and wife. You have shown me the fruit of not giving up! I appreciate the fact that you are real with your words and your relationships. You have opened up and cried when it hurt, and I needed to see that. See, I am a bottler, and you have helped set me free of that! I love your laugh!!! How could I not? Anyone who can challenge my laugh is a very gifted person. hahahahaha!!! Thank you for teaching me with out intentions or expectations. You are forever in my heart!
Sally, last but not least, you my lady, are so dear to me! You have modeled mercy not onlyto me but for me. I am forever in your debt for the goodness you have shown me. You have shown me that we can get another chance at love and life! You have never ever judged me or others. You continually bear fruit in love and patience. You are a woman of beauty, integrity and passion. It was with great privilege to pray for you years ago and see the fruit of that, though at the time we barely knew each other.I thank you for the talks we have had and will miss them tremendously. You trusted me with your home and your possessions (Austin & Casey). That was a wonderful gift. Thank you for teaching me with out intentions or expectations. You are forever in my heart!
Your Friend,
Jennifer Faye Smith
