I feel like I have lost a, 'best' friend.

And although you were really only, 'a' friend,

I thank God, for using you to be a 'blessing' in my life.

So 'my' friend, I promise to carry your

'spirit' with every step I take around the farm.

And I am sure it is your 'SPIRIT',

that made everyone ... 'feel like a friend'.

It was a complete 'pleasure and privilege' to have known you.

So on behalf of ALL the lives, you have touched,

THANK YOU

and although deeply saddened,

I am 'honored' to say ... " so long, 'FRIEND' "

'your' work on earth, is done ... so,
