Remembering a dear friend from over the years, in Loving memory of DS member, our dear forever angel friend, Lesa Meece. i'm very sad to hear, that our dear friend Lesa passed away. she was a wonderful person, and great friend to us all here on DS, over the years, always welcoming, and helpful..

She made a wonderful impact on my life over the years, i'll always appreciate her very much, and i'll always think of her, in my heart with our friendship shared over the years. She was a very caring, polite, and wonderful person. i'll always display her beautiful cards here in my writing area. i know she loved her football too, and her South Carolina gamecocks teams. She sent me some treasures over the years, of the gamecocks, Christmas ornaments. they'll forever be on my DS christmas tree each year. Very sad to hear she has passed.away. keeping her, her family and loved ones, in my thoughts, prayers, and in my heart, always and forever. i'll always treasure memories made, from our friendship over the years <3 To Lesa, we miss you, your loving spirit, and memory, will forever live on in our hearts <3 Love you, Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Happy Birthday, Taylynn! I'm glad she enjoyed her special day. My niece turns 17 tomorrow. Beautiful pictures of your flowers, and a wonderful tribute to Lesa. Thanks for sharing your memories of her. I will miss her, too. Love and hugs.

Happy Birthday Taylynn! 17!! Oh my goodness, I remember meeting Taylynn when she was 3 when I did my USA trip, and we had our lovely meetup in New London. What an amazing time that was. I would still love to come back. Our jobs have been axed from December this year, so if I don't find another job, and I have to sell my house, I might take a bit of time off to do some travel. Difficult times and decisions ahead.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's passing. Treasure the lovely memories.
Sending love xx

Happy 17th birthday to Taylynn ! I hope she enjoyed her birthday celebration and all her gifts.
Yes, it was such a sad day to hear of Lesa’s passing, she was a good friend to many, but she is now with the Lord, and no longer in pain. Miss you forever. Rest in peace..
I hope you enjoyed your phone call to Shirley and Bruce and hopefully the rest of your day went well. Take care and have a really good Thursday and as always thanks for the gorgeous flower pics. :-) hugs Jeannie
