Tribute to a friend and new bonnets and surprise in the mail

Today was a very hard day, a special young lady who was a special friend died

 unexpectantly Monday. It was such a shock to everyone,

She had a brief unknown illness and collapsed on Monday. She was such a joy, If you could special

order a daughter she would be everything you would want in a daugther. Beautiful inside as well as on the

outside. Her young life ended way too soon. But she did more in her 21 years than most of us do in a

lifetime.




Alica Dove  May 4, 1990----Aug. 1, 2011


Awhile back Angie http://lilraggedyangie.blogspot.com/ me the most
gorgeous fabric, and of course I couldn't wait to make bonnets out of it,
I actually had enough fabric to make Angie bonnets too.
Thank you Angie, I love my new bonnets, And I made them for me. He He



And I got a sweet surprise today from another wonderful blogger friend Traci http://yorkmountainprimitives.blogspot.com/ she was giving away a secret prize to someone who
left a comment on her blog one day, well you know I think she sent everyone a surprise.
Thank you Traci,
I love my blogger friends and cherish both of these girls friendships so much.

    Oh sweet Lecia - I am so very sorry. Sending prayers for peace, healing, and understanding - hope you and her family find comfort in her beautiful memories. It is so difficult when youth is unexpectedly taken from us....Some day, we'll understand why....

    I love your new bonnets - I saw the ones you sent Angie on her blog - that fabric is, indeed, perfect bonnet-making material! Glad you finally got to keep some so you'll have a little bit of Angie too.

    And that Traci is a sweetheart too - love your little pumpkinkeep!! I love what she sent me as well - need to get it posted.....

    Sending you hugs....Robin

    Lecia,

    How sad for such a young life to end so suddenly. I know that you will cherish the memories that you have of Alicia. Know that she will always be with you in your heart and take some small comfort in that knowledge. My thoughts and prayers go out to Alicia's family and friends.

    I love the new bonnets and Angie was so thoughtful to send you some more pretty fabric.

    Hope you have a great Sunday.

    D
