At the end of each day, the sun sets on us all leaving behind bright color and the feeling of serenity. Meg left us with that same sense of peace and the reminder to see life in all its beauty.
Meg's legacy of love and light will remain as an inspiration for each of us to seek creativity and meaning in our lives.How blessed I feel to have had such a singular friend who makes saying goodbye so hard.
My dear friend Meg, there is no poison ivy in heaven, and wasps don't sting. The garden up there will be even more beautiful than ever before with you there to tend it.
I'll miss you, my friend.
Linda, What a beautiful tribute to your friend. My heart goes out to you in your loss.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart. My thoughts are with you. What a great picture of Meg! She looks happy and content.
ReplyDeleteMay your beautiful memories of your friend bring you peace, Linda. So very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to a dear friend. Gardening gives a glimpse of heaven, with beautiful colours, and sweet fragrance and how beauty is harnessed from dirt.
ReplyDeleteCheers, have a nice weekend.

I commented on fb, but again, my sympathies. Good friends and few and far between and it's hard saying goodbye.

Linda,a lovely heartfelt gesture. She sounds like someone you were very fortunate to have in your life. I know it is hard to lose someone you care about. Try to remember the good times, the laughs, and the quiet times you spent with her.
ReplyDeleteMonica, Marnie, and Beckie, thank you. As hard as it has been for all of us who knew Meg to have to say goodbye to her, we feel so blessed having known her. So many good memories keep coming back to me. I know she wouldn't want us to be sad.
