Last night, I attended the funeral of one of my favorite employees. She was 42 y/o and died of an anuerism last week while she was at a church service. I will miss her infectious smile, her winks and the glow she had about her on a daily basis. I have never met someone who had displayed such grace and joy consistently in all her relationships. She will truly be missed and as sad as I was last night, I find comfoprt in knowing she died at one of her favorite places (her church) and will be smiling down on all of us and probably winking at me too. This morning, I read an email from my father that the daughter of one of his oldest friends died yesterday of an anuerism. She was 40 y/o and I remember all the fun we had as kids playing at bbqs and snowmobiling. Today, I am struggling inside with why good people are taken from the world so young and other idiots and bitter/malice-filled people continue to walk the earth. I'm not looking for advice or a philisophical discussion, I just needed to tell someone and remind you all to be good to those you love, support each other and enjoy each day that we have. Have a wonderful weekend! Amy

Amy... Often times when things like this happens there is no explainable reason. I see it everyday. We can grow from this and remind ourselfs that life is so short we are here today and gone tomorrow. I wish you peace today. I send good vibs toward you and these familys. /// heather

Amy, It is often hard to understand why the Lord takes the good away leaving the craziness in this world for us to deal with. But we must remember the Lord Giveth and the Lord taketh away. Everything happens for a reason--not all that we are to understand though. I hope you can find peace with this and know that with each day things will get better in Life. Becky

I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are headed that way.

Here is a hug for you ((( Amy ))). I think all of us grapple with those hard questions at some time in our lives. You're right, all you can do is hold on to your fond memories and don't take those you care about for granted. Be kind to yourself & know that I'm thinking of you. Vickie J.

hugs to you Amy.....I wish I understood God's ways...I just know His ways are best, even though I don't always understand it. My heart is with you. hugs, Tami

Amy, Thanks for the reminder that everyday and every moment with those we love is precious. Rhonda
