Written by a friend January 3, 1996

On this day, the 3rd of January, one is pulled back in time to last year .. the cold, the snow, the church .. those brave two souls sitting side by side in the front pews listening to the sermon exhalting the life and loves of Julie Alger.

How do we get through moments like these? They are so painful it seems like nothing will ever make it better. But those around us bring us comfort .. their presence becomes a constant hug .. and one that is needed for a long time.

The loss is real .. it never goes away .. as it should be .. for it us, the living, that will carry the memory that says "I WAS HERE" "I MADE A DIFFERENCE" "I LIVED!!" .. for without those memories, it is like the deceased never existed.

all my love,
Jennifer
