My sister, Nancy

Post by Carol Arnett »

We were able to see my sister on Thursday and again on Friday morning. She couldn`t say more than a few words at a time because breathing was so difficult. Her kidneys had failed and her body was riddled with cancer. She went into a coma Saturday morning then died Sunday morning at 3:45 AM. I still haven`t stopped crying. She was such a good person.

Please continue to pray for Sonny...he is a lost soul. Thank you all for your prayers ad concern. Love you all, Carol

Dear Carol,

I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your sister. Life can be very cruel at times, and difficult to understand.

You have my deepest sympathies, and, of course, I'll continue to pray for Sonny.

Much love,
Wayne

Dear Carol,

I am so sorry to hear that your sister has passed on but please take some comfort in that she is no longer suffering. I lost my sister too at a young age and do miss her so much.

My prayers will continue for Sonny - I am sure he feels such a loss.

Love, Maggie

Carol, :sad: I am very sorry. My deepest condolences for you and your family.

This kind of experience is always very difficult to forget, in fact, you will never forget it. I know that it is always said but the true is that she will not be suffering any more. I know this because we had something "similar" with my mother-in-law. We never wanted her to leave, but at the end, this was the only option for her wellbeing.
No idea of what your beliefs are and I am not going to ask you. I really do not want you to tell me now. If you believe in God or not, if you believe in life after death or not... That is something very personal. The only thing I want you to know is the importance of keeping the best moments that you shared together in your memories.
She will always be in your heart and in your thoughts and I will pray for her, for Sonny and for you.
:pulsinghearts: :pulsinghearts:

My big, big hug for you, Carol :bigbighug:
Take care
Love,
Tessa
