Remember last March I wrote about my friend having cancer? Well, she died this morning around 4:00 at home. I had just talked to her Friday and she said "I'm so tired." I told her I was coming to visit her this week (actually had planned on going tomorrow). I talked to her husband and he said it was just a matter of time -- that she was having problems walking and eating and was really weak.

She was never in real pain or she never let anyone know she was. She still had that 'sassy' way of talking (loved it!). She died with her family around here and I'm sure she was on her couch covered up with her favorite blanket. She always was wrapped in that blanket and either sitting or laying on her couch.

I know heaven is a better place today because she's there. But we sure are going to miss her here.

I am so sorry that you lost your dear friend. Glad to read that it didn't appear that she was in pain, as she still had some spunk in her. It's hard losing a loved one.

I am very sorry about your loss.

I'm very sorry about your friend. It's really tough. I had this happen two years ago...my friend died of breast cancer. She had been in remission for five years after a double mascestomy. It came back with a vengeance. I would bring her tons of magazines to read...STAR, National Inquirer, etc. I called her the afternnon she died...she wasn't up for a visit, so I said I'd leave them in her mailbox. I don't think she ever got to read them. My prayers are with you. ~Lisa

I'm so sorry for your loss of a good friend but I love your attitude!

I too am very sorry for your loss. I love your last sentence about Heaven being a better place. Having lost someone I cared for today, this brought me a measure of peace. Take care, and take comfort in the fact that she wasn't in pain.

A co-worker's brother died yesterday of a heart attack. He was only 52

Thank you all for your sweet and thoughtful remarks.

Her funeral was yesterday. Have to tell you guys this --- she LOVED Elvis. Her daughter had made a Top Ten of things she loved that was read at the funeral, and Elvis was in the Top Ten! The first song at her funeral was a recording of Elvis singing a hymn (I can't remember now what it was) and at the end, as the pastor finished, he said 'and now we're going to hear from Elvis again.' Everybody laughed, and then another recording of Elvis singing "Peace in the Valley"!
