Sister Passed Away
« on: February 05, 2011, 04:37:29 PM »
Yesterday afternoon was very tough for me and I did not eat much of anything... I learned that my sister had just died.

Her next door neighbor and good friend called her several times yesterday without answer.
She called me to get permission to enter my sister's house to check up on her.
My sister was found in her bed laying flat on her back and did not appear to have struggled before passing.
Her 77th birthday would have been March 7, 2011.

She was 18 years older than me and had a number of painful health issues (none weight related).
At least now I know she is no longer in pain and happy in heaven with my mom, dad, and brother.
I am now the last of those two generations.

I will be going over to my older son's house tomorrow to watch the Superbowl with him and my youngest son.
This loss has devastated them as well.
I hope that the game will bring our spirits up.

We will have a small simple memorial sometime this next week.
If you do not hear very much from me for a while in the near future, I hope you'll understand.

Regards,
Tony
What you do today is what matters!

Oh, Tony, I am sooo very sorry.  To have lost a brother and now a sister must be very difficult.  I am so glad that you have your sons nearby to comfort each other and forget for awhile while you watch the game.....laughter IS the best medicine and I'm sure it's what your sister would want you to do.  Take Care....Buffy

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but we know that for those who are in Christ...it's victory!  I hope you and your family feel alot of peace just knowing that your sister has now received complete healing, she's visiting with your mom, and enjoying all of the sights of Heaven in the presence of God.
My citizenship is there too!
