Just a few minutes ago, I was notified of another death. My friend of 17 years, Gwen, died today. She had been suffering with Lou Gehrig's Disease for about 5 months.This picture was taken in 1998 on Labor Day when she, and her roommate, took Tom and me riding on Bell River in their party barge. That was such a nice day. Gwen and I had planned to spend a lot of time on that river fishing and picture taking when I retire. Of course those plans have now changed......best layed plans.
I have had the privilege of knowing Gwen for 17+ years. She has remained a good friend for all those years, even when we didn't talk for a long time, we would pick up right where we left off. I will miss her calls where we would spend an hour or so talking and laughing and sharing some of our lives with each other. We addressed a lot of issues during those calls, and I learned a lot from this lady. She passed today at the age of 62. Too young, life is so short. Good bye my friend. I will see you again one day and we will spend lots of time on THE BIG RIVER. I love you.
Sorry to hear about that, Cindy.
Hope you had a good Mother's Day anyway.
Lunch?
