One day I happened to come upon a very special place. A place I meet daily with very special friends. You hold a place in my heart that only can be filled by each and everyone of you. I love you all and thank you for being my friends. This page is for you. -Phyllis

Friend are friends forever If the Lord is Lord of them
And a friend will not say never 'cause the welcome will not end.
Though it's hard to let you go into the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime is not too long to live as friends.
What is a friend?
A single soul dwelling in two bodies. -Aristotle
Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends -William Butler Yeats
Pray for Me
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground.
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around.
For you my friend... A FOREVER FRIEND Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship. When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit, and makes that dark and empty world suddenly bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete, because you need not worry, You have a forever friend for life, and forever has no end.
