Special Messages Time

Past Co-Workers- I had a blast working with all of you and I am so glad I was able to make some lasting friends. Keep in touch and I wish nothing but the best for all of you.

Mary C.- My weekends will not be the same without a trip to the casino to play bingo with you. Can't wait to take our trip when I come back!

Lorrie- Where would my life be without you in it? God has blessed me with a lifelong true friend in you and for that I will be forever greatful. I wish you nothing but the best for this year that I am away, and remember no matter what you decide to do always pray for guidance and know that in God's eyes you are woman of the year EVERY YEAR!

Ingrid- I don't even know where to begin. Life has thrown us lots of curve balls throughout the years. Through it all you have stood by my side and I hope you feel like I have done the same. I am so sorry I will not be there for you when Kellian arrives, or when you and Shawn get married. Know that you are in my heart and in my thoughts constantly. You are an amazing mother and the bestest friend. FOREVER.

Craig- Throw in some good country music, an awesome neighbor, and someone who can make me laugh for hours and thats you! Thank you for your friendship and your support. Your life is one crazy ride and I am glad I have been a small part of it by being a friend. Tell Naomi hi for me. Haha! Keep making the music and God will bless you.

Cole- Wow. Wow. Wow. Our friendship has been a stronghold for me and I am thankful for all of the ups and downs we have had. Thanks so much for coming to visit me when I was in Wyoming. Especially taking care of my dumb drunk ass that one night. HAHAHA! Good times. Vegas will be waiting for us when I get back. You better be ready!!

Mama Jo- My life has been truly blessed by having you as a mentor, teacher, and friend. You are such a big part of my inspiration and I feel honored to have passed through your classroom. I am so appreciative because you have been there for me so much since I lost grandma. Even through your words of encouragement, I know that everything will be ok. Thank you for your understanding and support. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Mom and Dad- Everything I have to say would be too personal to print here. Thank you for everything these past 4 months. Hang in there dad. There is a great job out there for you and your time will come. Mom, try to chill out. Don't get too stressed. Life is what we make it. Do what you want to do that will make you happy. Take a painting class, go back for your doctorate. Do something for you!!

Sheena and Chris- It was a huge blessing for me to be able to help ya'll plan your wedding. I had one of the best times of my life. Chris, you are such an incredible match for Sheena and I am so thankful you both have found each other. Sheena, the years have flown by and through our ups and downs I love you for you. It is so true what that jewelry box you got me says. "God made us sisters, but our hearts made us friends". Now both of you: MAKE ME AN AUNT BY THE TIME I COME HOME! Hahaha.

Ann Marie- Dear little girl, I know you have a hard time being so far apart in age from your two big sisters. I know you struggle with stuff in school whether you want to admit it or not. Just hang in there. These are the good years of your life. Enjoy them and work hard because it will help you become a better person. Seek God even if you think you have the answer to all your problems. You might be suprised by what you learn. I love ya.

Grandma and Larry- Thank you for everything. Thanks for coming over tonight before I leave. Grandma your note was very special. Of course I will keep in touch and I can't wait to see you when I get back home. Please keep me in your prayers.

Aunt Sandy and Uncle Bill- Aunt Sandy...what can I say. Sometimes your worse than my own mom. Haha! And I mean that in a completely loving way. Thank you for the excellent example of a Christian woman that you are. Thank you for your insight, wisdom, encouragement, and ability to tell the truth even when I don't want to hear it. Thank you for keeping me informed on all that is going on in the world. Keep me in your prayers. Uncle Bill, enjoy the golfing this next year. I'll be back before we all know it.

Thank you so much for the great comments you said about me. You are a true friend, which is hard to find these days!! I admire & envy your courage, spirit, determination, wisdom & passion!
You are an amazing Woman & NEVER let anybody tell you different!!
God has so many great things in store for you! Remember to always look to him for your guidance & decision making, as you tell me to do as well. Thank you for always believing in me & encouraging me & standing by me! I will always do the same for you! God brought us together as friends & I thank him for that! You are about to embark on an amazing year of adventures & new horizons! Just think of all the great stories you can tell your childern & grandchildern one day!! You got me a card one time that had a man on the front fishing in a very small boat. What he didn't know was that under the water was this very large fish that he was about to catch that was bigger than the boat!! On the inside of the card it said " You never know what BIG plans that God has in store for you!! i love that card & look at it when I am discouraged or just need to be reminded of that!! I know God has Big plans for you girl! You never know whats gonna happen, Only God can see that Giant fish just waiting to be caught & he also knows when your gonna catch it as well!! His timing is PERFECT!
You will do great there & God is always with you. He says in the Bible, "I will never leave you or forsake you" So he is always there, when you get frightened or discouraged just remember that!!
I will miss you very much & keep you in my prayers!! I love you with all my heart & your friendship means the world to me & I don't know what I'd ever do without you!!!!
In my opinion... You already are Woman of the Year!!
We will start our book soon!!
I love & miss you... oh, P.S.- When I meet Ben, I will tell him he has already met one of my Best friends!! HaHa!! Wish me Luck!! Go Steelers!! #7 Love, Lorrie
