Thanks everyone; it's been a tough day. It was a blessing she went this quick. She had brain cancer along with having it in her breast and lings. If it had gone on she would have ended up bedridden not knowing who anyone was. As it happened, a blot clot from her lung cancer broke loose and she died instantly. I'm the youngest of 11 and this is the first one of us to go. We all did the Susan B Kohmen cancer walk with her a few months ago. Im heading to Oklahoma Tuesday morning for the memorial service. My mom used to say that when someone close to us dies, we grieve because our loved one is seperated from us but we celebrate their new life with our Father. I know someday we'll see each other again. Thanks again for the kind words, you're all a great bunch of folks. Talk to all later in the week.

Oh Falcon, what a tough deal. Your family will be in my prayers.

Falconvan,
My wife works with Sister's at a Mother house some of the Nuns are in their 90's. They live such a devoted way of life. With their belief it's hard for them when they lose a member of their family or one of their Sister's. They belong to the order of “The Poor Hand Maids of Jesus Christ”. We all have a hard time letting go even when we know they will be at a better place. Thoughts and prayers will be with you.

I'm the youngest of 5 boys, two of us left. I have 5 sister's 3 of them are older then me, 2 younger. As I get older I know time is getting short.

Falcon sorry of your loss . Prayers are with you and your family .

Our prayers are with you and your family. Celebrate the memories of her.

So very sorry to hear of your Sister's passing. It is always hard to lose someone so close to you. We wish you all well.

Sorry to hear this news. My mom died of cancer 12 years ago and I still think of her often. She was the second youngest of 7 and set off a chain reaction that left us of an uncle and a grandmother within the next year. We will keep you in our prayers. Steve.

My sympathy and condolences to the family. Maybe that a person who was once suffering and is now in Jesus arms isn't really bad news.

Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family

Prayers for you and family.
Jack

Sorry for your loss, our condolences to you and your family

I'm sorry for your loss. She is now in a better place and not suffering so that is a good thing. My prayers are with you and her family.

Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes, everyone. Just got back from Oklahoma last night. The service was beautiful, there were a few hundred people there, my wife and brother and I sang a few songs and we all remembered why it's great having such a huge family and that we all grew up in church. We celebrated the awesome life she had, the way she made everyone around her happy, and all the memories we will have until we all pass to the next life and are together again. We all headed home yesterday; a bunch of upbeat and happy people. It's amazing the joy God can bless you with under the hardest of circumstances. It feels good to be home today and back to normal life. God is great, indeed.

Welcome back! I'm glad it all went well for you. You seem to handle it well too which is good because like you said, you will have all the memories until you pass to be with her again. A few hundred people is a lot! You must have a big family and she must have lots of great friends with that many people.
