Take the time to catch up with your friends.

Last year when I went to Queensland, I went out as far as Blackwater, on the way to Yeppoon. (Yes, I know it was a roundabout way!!)
I really wanted to keep going, as I had friends in Isisford, but decided I didn't have time, so told them I would catch them next time I was over there. Maureen passed away today after a fall, and it is a timely reminder to me that you should take the time to catch up with friends while you can, rather than putting it off until later - for we never know what life has in store for us.
This is for Maureen - rest peacefully.
There’s a very special star that shines upon us all tonight.
It’s the spirit of a special friend who’s vanished from our sight;
it’s a spirit who was loved on earth by all who knew her name;
with a heart of gold, and love to share – this lady’s claim to fame.
She is flying high with angels now, her earthly body spent,
on a journey to the heavens we were helpless to prevent.
But her spirit’s everlasting, and is held within our heart -
precious bonds of love forever strong that death can’t tear apart.
See the tears we cry in sorrow Maurs, and know how much we care;
Feel the arms we wrap around you, tho’ we know you are not there.
Hear the pride we speak in knowing you, the pain that makes us weep;
and we thank you Maurs for memories each one of us will keep.
