My elder sister, Cathy (NOT twist, as I know some of you know her as well) was found dead in her bed this Easter morning. She was 54 years old. Her kids are devastated, and the rest of us, are in shock. I'm so heartbroken, but I'm worried most about my mother. Please pray for her. She isn't doing well at all. Thank you all.

Karen,
How utterly devastating. I am so sorry. I pray that all of you find strength, comfort and peace. We are experiencing too many tragedies and I am sorry it has happened to your family.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Thank you all. I haven't had time to tend to my mail and messages, so please forgive me for that. We've been making arrangements, and well, just holding each other up. Cathy will be waked tomorrow night, with a funeral to follow Friday morning. God/dess bless you all--you all still remain an oasis of sanity for me. I love you all and my family extends their appreciation for your prayers and concern as well. *touching the screen*

thank you

God/dess speed Cathy to the Light.

I understand your sense of unrealness that you are feeling. I believe it is so that we can gradually come to terms with pain and loss.

I will keep your mother, you, and the rest of your loved ones in my prayers.

I am truly sorry for what you must be going through.

Loving, healing hugs,
Linda

I want to thank you all so very much...and let you know how much it helped me to know that you all care. And to thank you all, I'm going to spend some time gardening, and spring cleaning, and take more time to be with my mom and twist.

You have all been my liferaft and I want to do better now.

Love each other, because I love you.

(And Rae? There's no words for the example you set for me with comfort and care. I don't think I can ever match your beautiful spirit, but I will try.
