a person is gone

[dotinthesky]

Someone who was very good to me when I was a child, who was very young (early 50s) and beautiful, died last wednesday. She was my aunt Linda. Everytime I went to Birmingham to visit my grandmother, she would come over with my uncle and cousins, joke around with me... I was shocked to hear the news yesterday. I knew she had gone through an operation to remove her ovaries because of cancer... but it spread through out her body and she died of one of the many blood clots. She will be missed. I can't imagine what my cousins must be feeling. They are only 18 and 19 years old. It's very young for a person to lose their mother.

she was so full of life... she didn't deserve to die so young.

Ollie...
I don't really don't know what to say.
Eu acredito que ela esteja melhor agora que o sofrimento dela acabou!!
A gente sentem falta de pessoas queridas que se vao...mas sempre e bom pensar que Deus faz essas coisas por alguma really wise reason!

i agree... i think she is in peace now. I feel sorry though for the family she left behind... my uncle is apparently very upset about it.

It's very sad. I hate death and dying, and I'm horribly scared of it.

My mom lost her mom when she was 17, and she turned out to be one of the most amazing people I know. Sometimes loss just leads to more greatness.

i hope it does. this death makes me sad because of the loss she left behind. I have no idea what to expect at the funeral... it will probably just be a very emotional day for all involved.

I don't do well at funerals. I either laugh or cry hysterically.
