No Roundup
October 2nd, 2008 . by CaryMy sister, LeaAnn, passed away yesterday afternoon (10/1/2008) at about 2:15 pm.
I was able to see her, I was able to talk to her briefly, I was able to tell her that I loved her and that I would miss her. It’s still not enough.
I am so sorry. She and your family will be in my prayers tonight.

Thanks, BZ. It is appreciated, more than you know.
God bless brother. All will be in our prayers.
Thanks, Chief. Your prayers are appreciated.
My Dearest Friend……while I am so very sorry that you have lost your Sister, she died at home surrounded by those she loved and now she is Home and no longer suffering.
May God bless you now and always. Requiescat in Pace, LeAnn.
I’m sorry to hear that you lost your sister. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
Hey bro,
If I can help, let me know.
Thank you, all. Yes, she was surrounded – by family, friends, and the community she was such a large part of.
Hospice was a big help, showing us how to make her more comfortable and explaining that if she was comfortable she would be more likely to know that everything was OK and she would be able to go on her time frame. She knew that Mom was getting her hair done, her son was taking care of a few things, and another sister and I were talking to the mortuary, so we think she figured everything was under control.
Thank you, Loon.
Thank you, Sues.
Thank you, Gawfer – prayers for safe travel for the family over the next few days would be appreciated.
Thank you, all.
Already engaged. Keep me posted.
So sorry to hear about your sister, Cary! God, please be with Cary and all of his family. Please give them comfort and peace, and let them know, that they are being prayed for as they grieve this loss of their dear family member. Thank you, Lord, that we have the freedom to come to you in our times of needs, like now. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Love ya Cary, and let me know if I can help out in any way.

There are no words Cary to express how very sorry I am for your loss. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts.
No words suffice.
How wonderful that you got the chance to converse.
God is in control.
Oh Crap, Cary I am so sorry to hear that.
You are not having a great year, I think it’s time for Gawfer and I to make a road trip and take you out to dinner or something…
Great idea Rob.
Let’s sqauare away the logistics
Mrs. CP, Jenn, Greybeard, Robert, and Gawfer: Sorry for the radio silence, I’m working through this. I will post shortly.
As for any rogue road trips, let me know when you will be in town.
LeaAnn’s spirit and her life were a part of the spirit and the life of the people who were close to her and with her death there is a part of us too, that dies. We mourn for her but we mourn also for that part of ourselves which, with LeaAnn’s death, is now behind us. But there is something also that remains. Because LeaAnn’s influence has not ended with her physical death. Her warmth, her love and her values were given out and shared around and they have become a living part of the people who were close to her. So LeaAnn is not just part of the past, each of you carries something important of her with you into the future. Lives which have been closely tied together cannot be separated without pain. Along with our sadness at LeaAnn’s death we also find something to be glad about at this time. We are glad she is not suffering and that she is at peace. We are glad for the joys that LeaAnn had and for the fullness of her life. We are glad for having known her and for the things she gave and the things she taught us
O God of grace and glory, we remember before you today our sister LeaAnn. We thank you for giving her to us to know and to love as a companion in our pilgrimage on earth. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us quiet confidence that we may continue our course in faith; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Lord, dry our tears and warm our memories. Amen
Thank you, Nighthawks53.
