I lost a friend today, it happened so suddenly and I had so much to say..
I was so glad we knew one another.
I lost a friend today, spending last Sunday in church together was special..
We had stories to share, along with a smile and chuckle.
I lost a friend today, I think of her when Gosple songs are sung..
She loved to hear the bass come in, even if it was wrong.
I lost a friend today, though we didn�t share large amounts of time together..
There was a respect and love between us.
I lost a friend today, her children were so special to her..
and the grandchildren were her pride and joy.
I lost a friend today, what can you say..
A tear finds a place when I think of her.
I lost a friend today, thanks to God it won�t stay that way..
There is comfort in the knowledge of eternial life.
I lost a friend today, I will miss her.....
