My sister Gina

Some of you that are used to seeing me constantly on here may have missed me this week. We buried my sister today. She had been ill and suffering for a long time now. I am tired and sad and empty. When I made it home I just sat on the porch for the longest before I could go inside the house. No matter how much you think you are prepared are ready for death, you aren't. When I left the cemetary I realized this was our last goodbye. But we have so many memories that we will go on forever. Thanks PK

Petty, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know there is nothing really a person can say when some one goes through something like this. But, please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Melissa

What a hard, hard thing to go thru. Take care of yourself, I'll be saying a little prayer for you. Corrine

I am so sorry to hear about your sister, Gina. You have my deepest sympathy.

Petty, Your face and words on this forum are always uplifting to me. I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that you will find peace in the months ahead. Hugs, Kim

HI Kim We buried Gina in Pearland. Which is really now Houston. Cullen Blvd. when I was growing up was "OLD Chocolate Bayou Road" I remember we would drive out there and they called it the FM "Farm to Market Road." Back then there was nothing but a little creek to fish and berrys every where. Now it seem it is all cemetaries pass Tom Bass Park. Reginia Collins is at Houston Memorial Gardens 1600 Cullen Blvd. Thanks for letting me talk. When I saw Pearland I knew you would know where she is.

I know exactly where she is. We used to live down Hughes Ranch Road and you are right, it seems like both sides of Cullen are cemetaries. They are nice and well kept. Gina has a beautiful resting place. I will think of you each time I go by there. Happy Easter to you!

Dear Petty, It is so sad to lose someone you love. You have my sincerest condolences. I don't have a sister, but I have a dear friend whom I have known since we were six, and she is just like a sister. When she had cancer a few years ago, I was very worried, but, thank God, she is ok now. My parents and grandparents are all gone now, but the loss is always there. I wish you peace and the consolation of your faith to heal you in the coming months. HUGS, Pat

I just wanted to let you know, I'm sorry Patty. What a hard thing to go through. May you find peace in the Lords love.

Petty, My heart goes out to your family. I prayed for you all in church this morning. May God's love sustain and heal. sunny
