My beloved friend has passed.
« on: December 28, 2010, 10:54:34 pm »
I just want to let all of you know my beloved friend Susie passed yesterday at 9:40 am.  Many will remember I have mentioned her in my postings.  She fought a long courageous battle with lung cancer.  She had an infectious smile and contagious laughter.  She brightened every corner of my life.  My eldest son and her only son have been friends for almost 20 years.  I met her at my very first meet the teacher night way back in 1991.  Susie was an honourary Aunt to my sons and an extraordinary friend to me. 


My world got a little darker yesterday.

AM-
I am so sorry for your loss. I have not had to go thru that loss of a kindred spirit & so I can only imagine how you must feel. Thank you for sharing with us here so that we can cover you & her family in prayers. I pray that the Lord wraps Hos arms around you & you are able to feel His comforting presence in your time of grief.

Anne Marie ~

I believe I posted to this thread back on December 28th or 29th but it was 'lost' in the website transition.  Allow me to, once again, offer my condolences on the loss of your friend, Susie - and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
