2018:07 Farewell My Sweet Angelic Friend

I said good-bye today to my friend Lisa.  She leaves behind a devoted and loving husband and four adult children who will all miss her greatly.  She leaves her friends and family who loved her and admired her absolute and genuinely fierce sweetness, contagious giggles, happy countenance, generous compassion, deep strength, and tremendous power to keep her eyes fixed on Jesus through many dangers, toils, and snares that she experienced in her life.

As we celebrated her life in a party that she planned, I found that everyone who grabbed the mic and spoke of her, all echoed all of the things that I have cherished about her.  She was the real deal and I am better for having known her and better for having gone to her celebration of life today.  In her 54 years, her relationship with the One who loves us all the most was honed carefully like the glass that is softened and smoothed by the sea.  She was a crystal, brightly reflecting His Love and Compassion to all who knew her and were touched by her presence.

She is worshiping now with all of her heart, free from the pain and debilitation of the cancer that erupted and took her life here on earth.  She is now more herself than ever before.

Good-bye Lisa, I look forward to harmonizing with you again some day in the place where joy shall never end.

Sad for me and happy for my friend today,

Kiki
