In Memory of my Sis

 Thank you all so much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.  My sis passed yesterday afternoon at around 4:30PM.  It was quiet and peaceful.  From what I understand she never awoke after I was there.  So, I am even more grateful for the eyes opening and her saying "my sissy".

She is at peace now and is healthy and with all our loved ones gone before and the Lord.
We talked with my nephew about 5PM and he said, I sure would love to see what she is seeing now!

This is her (center) and 'part' of her brood!!!  Not everyone made it to this gathering.  She had 6 children, and truly I have lost count of how many grands, greats and great-greats!
Me, Marcella and Linda - both sisters are gone now.  This was back in the 70's if you couldn't tell by my do!!!!  I have 2 sisters in heaven and 2 brothers (one I never knew), and now it is just me and my brother, Richard.

So many fun memories and fun times.  In the past few years, she and I have gotten closer.  She always lived far away when I was younger.  She told me she could tell me things and discuss 'private' stuff that she just couldn't or wouldn't talk to her daughters about!!  I will miss that for sure.

Love you MARCELLA, see you again someday.

Made it to 95 years young!

  1. Oh, Cheryl I am so sorry for your loss. I just cannot imagine losing either of my sisters. You were such a strength to me after Joel's death, and I owe you so much. I just hate to think of you grieving. Bless you

    1. You are too kind. Every time we lose someone, it seems like it is the worst. Parents, siblings, spouse, children (I can't even imagine that). Yet the Lord gets us through - I would be so lost without faith. He holds me up!
      Thank you so much.

  4. What your nephew said is the best thing. Imagine what she is doing right now. Thinking about what a loved one is experiencing in heaven has always given me comfort and something good to focus on. I will pray for you and all who knew her. Hugs to you. Linda T
