It's now been two years. We don't think of her as often as we used to , but we still remember her with fondness. And a bit of sadness, even though she wouldn't want us to.

stoooooooo has again invited people to post memories of her. I dunno if he'll have time to unscreen mine anytime soon, so I'll repost it here:

One thing I know I will never forget about her was her willingness to help family and friends at the drop of a hat, whether it was to help friends unload their moving truck or to create an extremely important document at the last minute.

Or, in our case, to watch the kids at the near-literal drop of a hat. When

mousecat0's brother (Duke) died, I took the initial phone call. They were over for their weekly dinner and laundry run. As soon as she heard what had happened, she immediately informed us (and

stoooooooo) that they would watch the kids for as long as was needed, and helped get us out the door. That was the way she was - unselfish, willing to help, expecting nothing in return.

My heart and prayers are with her parents, her brother, and with my family today.

I leave you with two quotes:

The first:

What is Dying, by Bishop Brent

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says “She is gone”. Gone Where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just the same now as when last I saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her come over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout “There she comes!” That is what dying is. A horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

The second:

Never give up a chance to tell those you love that you love them. -
