Fly high sweet girl, I love you! While my heart is shattered and random thoughts of crazy adventures refuse to give my tears a rest I finally reached a place where I remembered to thank God for all the years I got to call you one of my BEST friends. The 3 of us (Beth Peterson Price) share some amazing memories. I know I'm insanely lucky to have had two true friends that I can count on for anything. You have been by my side for so long that I know my instinct to call you whenever something important happens will make sure you are never far from my mind. You were my total opposite, the ying to my yang and yet it worked so well. People outside our inner circle most likely though you were tough as nails and indeed you could be. However, I know most people don't have any idea of the trials and tribulations she overcame. She may have been small and petite but never weak or a pushover. She was honest and hard working and now this world we live in that so needs people with those traits has lost her. Beth and I were part of a small group of folks who got to hear not the sarcastic funny stories of her marriage but the true heartfelt stories of how lucky she was to have Wade at her side, She ask me more than once "What would I have done without him, he doesn't let me do anything, he handles the businesses and the house and me" She told me just a couple weeks ago that she never could have fought this as long as she did if not for Wade. I remember the day she first saw Wade at work and called to tell me all about her impression of him. Little did we know she had found the love of her life and a life long friend for me.
Fly high Angel, you were loved, you will be missed, promises were made and will be kept. Thank you for loving me.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to you. Please be assured of God’s enduring love for you, his concern with your well-being, and his willingness to help you endure this difficult time (1 Peter 5:7). I pray that God’s promise at Revelation 21:4 will provide you comfort in the days to come.
I am very blessed that I got to call her my friend. Debbie was a no nonsense kind of gal and she either liked ya or she didn't. Debbie I will treasure all the memories of Oaklawn, Margaritaville and just having fun with you. I love you #1 and will be missing you always!
Prayers, Love and hugs for Wade.
Beth
My condolences to you and your family during this time of bereavement. Please take comfort in knowing that God promises that "those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out," (John 5:28, 29). God also promises to "swallow up death forever, and the sovereign lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8). May these thoughts bring you peace during your time of sorrow
