My friend is at peace.....

Patty passed away yesterday morning. She had been taken off the ventilator on Friday and held on until Monday morning. Time enough for visitors to share their love and stories with her husband and kids. She will definitely be missed but I know she wouldn't have wanted to live this way. Now she is at peace and I hope the healing of everyone else can begin. No one wants to lose a loved one but it seems especially cruel when it happens during the Christmas season when young kids are involved. Patty loved Christmas so much - she was always filled with laughter and happy stories of her kids.

So please everyone hug your loved ones... Forgive petty slights... And remember how quickly life can change.

I'm sorry to hear things happen like this to wonderful beautiful people. So hard to understand. It's not meant for us to, I guess, but prayers for her family, coworkers and may peace come to their hearts.

Oh Nancy, I am so very sad to hear this. Big hugs to you, and I will keep you and Patty's family in my thoughts.

Oh my Nancy!! I'm so very sorry. It is so very cruel, it seems, at Christmas - I lost my Mom - it'll be 17 years ago - on Sunday. I dread that day. She had been Christmas shopping and died suddenly like your friend. It was a very hard Christmas season, but the thoughts of seeing her again some day was never lost in the holiday. We all need to remember we may not be here tomorrow - so we need to share and enjoy life one moment at a time.

Blessings and prayers to you, and your friend's family.

Nancy I am in tears and all choked up reading this. I am so sorry beyond words. ((Hugs))

Nancy - I'm so very sorry to hear this. (((hugs))) My prayers going out to you all for peace and comfort, knowing she is in no pain and in a better place. It sure is cruel to lose a loved one during a holiday. I lost my dear, dear Nonna on Thanksgiving over 28 years ago, and not one has passed without missing her deeply.

I'm so sorry! Prayers for her family and friends.
