Saturday morning, a friend of the family died.  She was like a second mother to my sisters and I.  She was my mother's best friend and was her maid of honor at her wedding.  Her death was expected but still sad. She was very sick with emphysema (sp) for many years and was in a coma when God called her home.  I am sad because I will no longer see this wonderful lady on earth but I am comforted in knowing that I will see her again in Heaven.  Please share with us your experiences with the loss of a loved one, friend or pet.  We care about your pain and want to share it with you.  As you can see we have been there and done that.
