On Sunday, February 12th, my sister Bonnie died suddenly. She was in church and felt dizzy. Then she was gone.
I was born the youngest of four girls. Now I'm the only one left. But I do take comfort that Bonnie didn't suffer the way my sisters Mary and Doris did. They died slow, painful, cancer deaths. Bonnie had a massive aneurysm and never knew what hit her.
My husband and I are leaving tomorrow for Memphis where Bonnie lived, for the funeral. We will be gone for about a week. Our plans are flexible.
Hope all of you are well. I have been thinking of you all, and will be thinking of you all.

Have a safe trip. I hope it helps to bring some closure. Please send Bob and Bob my love.
Many hugs, Luce.
And we will be thinking of you. Have a safe trip, enough time to say your goodbyes and somebody to share your memories of her.
Many, many hugs!
You'll probably see Uncle Bob and Cousin Bobby before my cards get there ... let them know how sorry I am.
Have a save drive.

As I've said about the loss of my husband, the good news is he lived until he died. The loss is more painful for us, but ya gotta admit, painlessly quick is better than lingering. God bless you and yours, TLP. Drive safely.
