Cheryl. I want to extend to you my deepest sympathies. I know that losing a close friend is not easy. One of my best freinds passed away 11 years ago and I miss her so much. It takes getting use to not having them there but that comes in time, like everything. Know that you are in my prayers for your loss.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Thank you, Brenda. It will take time, I know...it's just so weird to know I can't pick up the phone and tell her the latest news... Cheryl

Cheryl, My heart goes out to you on the loss of your friend, I have been there and sweetie, you can talk to her, the difference is you might not hear her whisper back to you, but she is with you and all her loved ones always, death robs us of the physical part of one another, but not the spirit, for it is with us always in the cherished memories we have, hold onto those and don't feel "guilty" about not making your call, she would not want you to feel badly and you know that, so remember the fine times and I am and many here are keeping you and your friend's family in prayer.

Hugs, Laureen

Thanks, Laureen, I appreciate your thoughts. She was one of the few people I told about my WLS. So supportive and just a wonderful woman and friend. I can still hear her voice and that is good. I think she did know how I felt about her, just wish I could have one more visit. Thanks so much, Cheryl

Sorry to hear about your friend. It's hard when it's so sudden. My friend Mary Kay went through a similar thing with her brother in California ... they found him dead a week later in his apartment. So sad! You don't have time to say goodbye or tell how you feel about the person when it happens without warning. But I'm sure your friend knew your feelings about her even though you hadn't called her. Those we love know this in the heart.

Hi Eileen, You are right. It is the part about not getting to say goodbye or not knowing it was going to happen. In the job I have, I usually know that someone is about to pass or that it is expected. When it happens suddenly it is just such a shock. Thanks for your post, Cheryl

Thanks, Margo, It was just such a shock. I couldn't understand who was telling me or who they were talking about at first...I appreciate your hugs and prayers... Cheryl
