A friend til the end...
How does one begin to sum up a 23 year long friendship? How many of us can say we even nurtured a friendship for that long!? When I was 10, Heidi moved in a few doors down from me. It wasn't long before we were having sleep overs, playing on each other
porches, and enjoying getting to know one another. Since we lived in a townhouse community one of our favorite night time activities was ding-dong-ditch! Little did I know this would begin our 23 year long friendship expanding through high school, college, til today. The list of things I could be thankful for in my friendship with Heidi is without limits, but most of all I was blessed by her and her family for inviting me and taking me to church with them. If there was church, we were there...Sunday
morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night and anything else in-between. Really! God used Heidi, her family, and the church we grew up at to raise me up in the Lord. For that I am forever grateful!It was quite obvious at her memorial service how deeply she was loved and will be missed by many. I pray God's words to her are...Well done good and faithful servant!
