    Had to re-record the funeral of Pres. Bush for hubby because he had to work today and he was going to miss it otherwise. My DVR glitched on the last attempt and I only got portions of it. I shed a few tears while watching it.

    Sorry, Mommy, you missed getting the recording. I dislike when these machines don't do what we want.

    Loverly???

    Beatmom and I are  calling Phyllis. She was cheerful this morning. Sandy her BFF and her son Dale visit.  ….. I left a message for Susan on her husbands cell phone.

    sending all the love to Susan and Phyllis and their families. 2 wonderful ladies that are departing all too soon.

    Sas- I cannot believe that thread was deleted!

    JWoo, I agree, over the years I have kept memory threads so I can visit. It can be comforting to visit.  Perhaps I'll contact Joanne and ask what happened. Not sure if it matters why it happened. It can't be undone. But sure would like to get this hashed out so it doesn't happen in the future. Now I understand the complete anonymity idea. 

    Love your avatar

    I'll be calling Phyliss in a few, I will send your regards.

    Ladies, I got a message from Susan's daughter early this morning. I am very sad to say that Susan has left this world. Great loss.

    Susan, it was a privilege to know you my other goofy friend. I am glad and happy that we were able to meet you and your precious girls. You behave yourself up there, you hear? I will miss you. Until we meet again.....

    My condolences to Susan3's family for their loss. (I'll raise a fork of 'normal' spaghetti in her memory tonight.)

    Our dear Susan went so fast. She was just thinking of quitting work at the end of October. 

    Sending my deepest condolences and many prayers to Susan and her family.

    so sad to hear about Susan 😢 my heart goes out to her family and friends.

    Sorry to the family of Susan.  She was an amazing person. She held on for years. Her family may or may have not know how many years. She endured chemo for years beyond the normal. Her MO as she would describe always had something in his trick bag. Her several things she wanted to--------see-------her daughters marriage-----------the birth of her grandchild------being involved with the grandchild...…... Which happened b/c they were in driving distance Then it all happened. 

    Sorry Susan, Thank you for being in my life. "Know  that I Am"...………………….

    Ms. Sas, I am very sorry to hear about the decline and the lack of support....very cruel.

  • May Susan be happy forever in Paradise.

    Hello Sas and all insomniacs

    I sent a pretty Arrangement to be delivered to our Phyliss this morning. Signed the card

    Thank you so much Beatmon. I'm feeling really sad about and for Phyliss.

    Sas, were you able to talk to Phyllis today? I just called and the nurse took the phone in but she didn’t respond any other than an “umm”. The nurse said she had been restless or resting .....I couldn’t quite hear what she said because we were on speaker. ( The nurse did say our flowers had arrived and were very pretty). Heartbreakng

  • Beatmon, thank you. No act of kindness is ever wasted. Phyliss will know. XXX

    Beatmon, thank you for your kindness. So true what Feline said.

    Hellloooooooooooooo, Phyliss got the flowers yesterday while Sandy was visiting. She wasn't able to talk later b/c they had just given her morphine meds. 

    Talked with her a bit ago today. She's not able to talk, but can nod her head yes and no. She smiled at a couple of corny jokes. DS is visiting YAY

    I had asked the other day for a minister to visit, they have been in. I asked for someone to sit with her, and they are 24/7

    As an FYI, I technically had no right to ask for either, I'm not her surrogate Sandy is. BUT what the heck I asked. They did both. Technically, had no right to be asked to be put on the chart to be called, but they did. So, I guess in a same or similar circumstance....ask.... the least they can say is no.to any request.

    Feeling much better about the situation. Her staff is very attentative and kind, watching closely as to when she needs meds. Plus, now she has someone at the bedside. That's important for those moments she wakes.. Just to see someone or maybe something as simple as water that she can't reach.

    She and I never really talked religion much, but it bothered me that she may have not been baptized and what her wishes were if she wasn't.   I asked tonight, and she has been baptized. Took a great worry away. Some won't understand, others will.

    Talked with Beatmom and thanked her for the flowers. We both are going to have a couple of corny jokes for her, when we call.
    Corny joke from the other day still using it. "Your like dandruff, I can't get you out of my head"  2nd corny joke. What's the difference between God and doctors?...……..God doesn't like to play doctor.

    Each call is finished with prayer.

    Hugs

    hi ladies. I didn’t realized Ive been off bco since middle of August. Where does the time go? Loverly let me know that Susan had passed. So sad, I think it’s harder when you have met someone from here. So glad that I did get to meet Susan, her daughter and Elena. She’s going to be 3 in a few months.

    Evie turns 3 in 3 weeks. Plus she will have a baby brother in May. All is good here. All ready for Xmas.

    Sas, if I remember right, your grandchild is due in January? Do they know the sex of the baby? Sorry to hear about phyliss. She’s been a fighter for a long time
