So long friend...

Some memories of my friend Trish...
Laughing with friends.
Our girls at our American Girl outing.

New Years Eve 2006.
All of us!!
Trish and Duane were part of our re-comittment ceremony.
They were one of 6 couples the took a vow to pray for us, counsel us and hold us accountable.
This is one of my favorite memories of Trish!!
Having fun at the Chocolate Botique.Above is a picture of me and my friends Trish and Becky from New Years Eve 2007. I am so sad that tomorrow my friend Trish will be moving away, far away. I have grown very close to her since coming to Delavan and joining Delavan Baptist Church. She and her family were a constant in our church. You could always count on them to be at every function! They were always in church, always at fellowships and volunteered a lot of their time. So over the past 5 years, we have all grown close to their family. Her husband and Rich have formed a friendship through a men's ministry and through church. Khloe and her daughter have also become friends. We are all so sad to see them go. I was driving into town today after work and I hoped not to see a moving truck in front of their house. If it was there, then it would make this all real. Sure enough, once I passed by their house, the truck was out front. I was able to see Trish one last time at the school. We hugged good-bye, I was a bit glad that I was at the school and had to keep it together!

One thing will not change, we will continue to be friends. I know that Trish prays for me continually, and I will continue to pray for her too. We will keep in touch through e-mail, IM and the phone. I am sad to see her go, but excited for her new opportunity in Ohio. I pray that they will have a safe trip, and then live happily ever after!




So long good friend. Be safe, be happy and enjoy your new adventure!
