Josie's Farewell Dinner : Monday, 18 Dec 06

On Monday, 18 December 2006, we joined Josie and her home group for one last farewell dinner before she left to go back to SA to live ... it was a lovely evening ... tainted with sadness at our impending goodbye moment ... we ate her gingerbread house for desert ... made a kids mess everywhere much to the horror of the Ashes Table staff ... I, along with many at St Matts, will miss Josie terribly! She is such a beautiful sister in Christ who has grown so much and has inspired and challenged me personally in many areas of my life for which I am very grateful! I know that she will be a success in everything that she does back in South Africa and I'm sure that her family will be delighted to have her close at hand from now on and that God will bless her richly in her walk of faith as she trusts in Him for guidance and direction.

Here are some wonderful lasting memories of our last night together ... farewell beautiful friend ... Josie ...
