A Strong Friendship does not need daily conversations together all the time. As long as the friendship lives in the heart. True Friends Never Part. Some friends are not just friends. They are the ones who feel like home. They stay through storms and laugh with you in the sunshine. They are not family by blood but by heart. The lovely times of life will not return back but the lovely relation and missing memories of lovely people will stay in the heart forever.

I will never forget you and every day I am thankful for your love and friendship. I still get lonely when I think of you. I miss you a lot which I am sure you know. Making a friend is an act of Grace. Having a friend is a Gift. Keeping a friend is a Virtue. Having a friend like you is an Honour. Thank you for the gift of friendship and for the special fellowship we shared. I pray that our friendship will continue to grow and flourish though you in faraway. My thoughts and prayers are with Priyanie and Milinda. May the peace of Jesus bring solace to them. 

Lovely times of the life will not return back,  but the lovely relation and missing memories of lovely people will stay in the heart forever. My dearest friend Kenneth, my heart aches for your loss, but I find comfort knowing now you are with Jesus, our saviour. May God’s peace surround you. I say, see you later, not goodbye, because of Jesus’ promise. I look forward to that glorious reunion. Until we meet again in our heavenly home, I will hold your memory close and strive to live with the same grace and faith you so beautifully modelled.

May you get a taste of God’s never dying love for you. May your heart be open to his spiritual and divine gifts.Celebrate your 78th Birthday cheerfully on 4th January in Christ’s grace.

Your Ever-loving Friend.
