On a personal note

I usually try to keep my posts from being too personal, but I am making an exception here. This week I lost my best and dearest friend of over 20 years, Lisa Norlemann. Lisa passed away this week at the age of 49. She was truly a bright spot in my life and I will miss her so much. She and I had one of those rare friendships when you connect and have that deeper understanding with someone that is more than words can explain. She was there with me for the happy times and the sad. She was my shoulder to cry on, support when I felt alone and a cheery story when I was down. She understood my heart and I hers and that is a cherished quality you don't find everyday. I shall always treasure our friendship and your secrets are safe with me. Rest at peace Bugly, I will see you again in heaven.

Thanks Lynne, that was Lisa's favorite picture so I thought it was appropriate. She was always the photogenic one! Her kids are very photogenic too. Missing you!
