Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend.

Memories last forever, never do they die, Friends stick together and never really say Goodbye.

Cherish the friend who tells you a harsh truth, wanting ten times more to tell you a loving lie.
