A Passing . . .

"A friend loves at all times . . . " ~Proverbs 17:17

 Myself & Mollie ~ 1997
I had fully intended to write about something different today, but about an hour ago, I found out that a dear, life-long friend of mine has suddenly passed away. 

 Mollie ~ Age 10
Mollie ~ when we became fast friends at age 8, we discovered that we shared the very same birthday (I, being about 4 hours older & I always reminded her :-}). 

 Mollie ~ Age 12
Mollie ~ with the bluest eyes of anyone I'd ever met except my Daddy.

 Mollie ~ Age 15
Mollie ~ who was quick to laugh & just as quick of temper to anyone who hurt ANYONE she loved.

 Mollie ~ Age 17
Mollie ~ and her John
Mollie ~ who overcame youthful indiscretions and found the love of her life (her John) and whose husband, children and grandbabies were the foundation & loves of her life. She LIVED for her family, if ever anyone did.

 Myself & Mollie ~ 1997
Mollie ~ my birthday will never be the same. We always tried to be the 1st one to call the other on our birthday. Since she has lived out-of-state for many years it was the one day that we knew we would always hear the other's voice. 

Her family & friends are living in the fogginess of shock at her sudden loss. I ask that you would please pray for Mollie's family as they walk through this time. I will especially be praying that they will draw closer to the Lord & let His loving, comforting arms wrap tightly around them.

Blessings from Ohio . . . Kim<><

  4. I don't think you can ever fill the space their loss leaves behind, but you can rest in your faith. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend.
