Today we said our good-bye's to Joe Edmondson. Joe was a co-worker and friend. One evening having dinner with he and wife D, we found out that we had named our future daughter the same name as their daughter (we knew her, through Joe, as Liz).
Joe died of a massive heart attack late Sunday night. JR was so kind to call us at midnight to share the news so we would not be shocked walking into work Monday morning. Thanks, JR.
LIFE IS BUT A STOPPING PLACE
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what’s to be. A resting place along the road to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things but never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some, the journeys quicker, for some the journeys slow.
Later Joe. We shared good times, hard times and many crazy times. Peace friend. Peace...

ps.. congrats on that 25 months down. You are getting closer!
saw your comments on 3d's blog about needing to find my blog - I am going to send you an email with my link.I am trying to keep my blog un-linked, as I had to start a new blog - my husbands ex-wife found my old blog (awaiting ava) and began using it for real crappy purposes.
I hope you will join us for 3 WORDS Sundays - I put all the photos together in a video.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I will pray for peace for his family.
Thoughts and prayers are with you. What a shocking death - I pray he suffered little and was at peace.
Hugs to you both,
Kim
so sorry for the loss of your friend.
Thank you all for your kinds words of sympathy. It is difficult to lose family and friends; the hurt and sorrow is always felt for a long time.

I'm so sorry. Losing a friend is so hard.
Having had to deal with the death of loved ones recently, I took peace in the in the idea that we are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
As I stood at my mom's bedside when she walked into eternity, I knew that she had just seen the face of God.
Life -is- but a stopping place - may we glimpse at eternity through the eyes of those who go before us.
Peace be with you, friends,
Don
