Reading this thread was hard. Not only because a loved one that is/was close to you has to succumb to what was laid forth, but because reading and relating to it all is heart wrenching.
I lost my grandfather in 1988 to a heart attack. He was at the hospital at the time, scheduled to have bypass surgery. He was fit like a lion. I really feel the stress related, all the thoughts in his head was the thief of his will.
In 1990 my father died after a long bout of colon cancer. My dad was a strong willed man. Rarely ever did I see him give in. After two years in the fight with cancer, he was too tired to fight anymore. I miss my dad more than ever. But I always know he's around. Guiding me to my decisions.
In 1993 my grandmother died. I think mostly of old age. And, she missed not having her husband and my grandpa around. She lived a very full and enriched life. With many friends & family always around.
In 2003 I lost my mother. I was at a funeral of a friends mother on that day. My cell phone rang. It was my sister. She told me that she'd found my mother on the livingroom floor, passed away.
Harleyman,
From the second I started reading this topic I was all choked up. That knot in your stomach kinda feeling. It's hard..I know. It's hard for anyone to endure the pain of a lost loved one. The more I read down the thread, the better I felt after reading the kindness, the wisdom, the caring and concerns of those above. Amy's in good hands. Again she walks with her head high and proud, with a smile on her face that tells everyone she is happy once again.
Please pass something on to those close to her;
*** for she is missed. *** for she is loved. Cry out loud for Amy is free of the pain and agony so long felt. Smile in remembrance for the many good times and memories of times past. Laugh in joy with a tear in your eye. Smile because Amy is free.
Amy and her family are all in good hands
May she rest in peace...
