Goodbye My Friend

This is me(on left) and my friend Kathy on a vacation in Spain, 33 years ago. I got a call from Kathy's husband yesterday telling me that she died on Sunday. She was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago, initially going in for severe back pain. On Friday they told her that it had spread to her lungs and kidneys and there was nothing to be done for her. She passed 2 days later. She left behind a young son in his early teens.

I worked with her at Midland Bank for many years and she is one of the few friends who came to visit us in the U.S. Same age as me, 53. Really too young.

You never know when the last time you see someone will be the last time. Take the time to keep in contact with those old friends before it's too late.
