Friends of a Lifetime
By: A G Pearl

This book is a work of fiction based on experiences of my younger days as I remembered them. Friends surrounded me through my life. The friends of my youth were a joy worth more than all the gold in this world. A simple playground filled with laughter and joy. Relationships fueled by respect, love, and knowledge where loneliness has no part or place in life. Some of my childhood friends are no longer living, yet their spirits are as real as our memories. When we have a memory, no one is completely gone. My prayer is in some small way I leave a happy memory with those whom I have the pleasure of knowing and this book opens the vault of their memories as well as the memories of any person who reads it. Joy and laughter are keys to the universe. God is happy when his creation loves and has compassion for each other.
