    In Memory

    I start by asking you to bear with me for this personal post and request, but over the last years this place has become my safe haven, my port when life just gets too hard for me, and the place where I come for comfort. This year has been a very difficult one for me, personally, and I've posted some of the things my family and I have faced. I received a call Sunday morning that my 45 year-old neighbor of over 20 years had died in her sleep the night before. She had just gone through a difficult divorce, was still having issues with it, and leaves 4 young daughters behind, the youngest only 7. This was just a torpedo, out of the blue, as they say she died from a heart attack. It's hard to put into words the large part of her life she and I shared; she was a thousand miles from friends and family when she moved here. She called me more often than my own children do, for advice on everything from cooking chicken rice soup to her failing marriage. Please take a moment of your day to think of her and her family, and then go and hug someone you love. This is another reason we can't take anything in our life for granted.
    Thank you friends.

      My thoughts and prayers will be with her and her family. I also will be holding you in my prayers. I know how hard it is to lose a good friend without any warning. Also, how difficult these days will be for everyone. Certainly, this is one of those moments when we should all remember to be thankful for all of our blessings.:l:l

              Ruby-I'm sending up special prayers for your neighbor's family and for you, too, our Georgia Angel. We've all seen how strong and caring you are...but you need to take some quiet time for you to replenish. Just think how you were blessed to be your neighbor's friend - to be there for her. God knew where to station her, don't ya think? Right beside you!! Thank you for being here for all of us and know that we are all here for you, too.

              Love ya,
              K.
              Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

                    Oh Ruby I am so sorry to read about your loss of a dear friend and neighbor. 45 is so young - it must be hard to even comprehend this. My thoughts and prayers go to you, and also to your friend's children and family.

                        Ruby I am so sorry! Some of my friends are closer to me than family, so I can imagine your pain. What a tragedy. I will pray for you and your friends little girls.
