Wow.....so many people offering prayers, love, kind words & thoughts....loving me and my family in the midst of our pain over the loss of my sister, Pat.

Saying thank you doesn't seem like quite enough.....but it is all I have to give over this blog. And I DO thank you! Your kindness overwhelms me. It reminds me of God's love. Whenever I think of it.....I'm completely in awe because it doesn't make sense.....but it is absolutely AMAZING.

Things are getting better by the day. I think we have taken care of most of the major tasks necessary after Pat's death. The apartment is emptied, the accounts are closed, services shut off. I am SUPER grateful that my sister, Sandy, and I had my other two sisters here (from out of town) to help with all the work. It makes it so much easier when the decisions are shared and we can each do our part.

Today is one final day with my sister from Florida....and then she and her husband leave tomorrow morning. We had hoped to have a "fun day" today after working so hard on the apt, etc......but we are all so exhausted. At least we can spend the day without so many things hanging over our heads.

Again.....I'm overwhelmed by your kindness. You don't even know me...at least not really.....nor I you....and yet you are willing to take the time to pray and care. That means so much to me. This is written with sincere gratefulness.......
