Unhappy Bumming right Now, Lost Another friend:-(

I just found out that another friend of mine has died
Went by my buddies bar, and the bartender asked me if I heard about Jim, she then told me that that he passed the other night

His bar is the background in many of the pictures I've posted on this site.

I just lost a friend last week, and now another, both sudden, and unexpected.

RIP Jim, heres a toast to you

Been there and know how you feel. Kinda makes you try to take better care of yourself.

God works in interesting ways and maybe he had a bigger project for Jim.

Lost a good friend this year also.

The older you get, the more the people around you pass on.

Sorry to hear that Byron. We lost a dear friend last week. She housesat for us while we were in Europe last summer. She & her husband spent a week with us last month and she was so excited about her retirement. We need to really enjoy our life here, as tomorrow (on Earth) is not promised. Stay strong.
