I'm going to miss my sister
...so very very much.
Sharon Jean Blum
June 15, 1960 - December 17, 2010
We knew it was coming -- have known for 2 years that it was coming -- and that it would come sooner than we'd like, but no one expected it quite this soon. No one expected that news yesterday.
I love you, Sharon.
[and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.]

I'm so very sorry for you. I simply can't imagine. I lost my mom 6 years ago and still miss her everyday -- but can't imagine not having my sister. No amount of warning can prepare you for this sort of a loss.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. There are no words that will make these days better, just know that many people are sending love your way. Your sister's story is known to more people because of you. She is not just another victim of that horrible disease.

{{{{{{{{vicki}}}}}}}}} so sorry to hear about your loss. Sending you hugs and love.

Vicki...having lost a sister I loved so dearly I can only imagine what you are feeling. Knowing it is coming doesn't really prepare you for when it comes. Your sister was so well loved and you obviously have so many good memories; I hope this keeps you in good stead over the time to come. I really am so very sorry for you,and I am thinking of you and your family.
Posted by: Cynthia | 18 December 2010 at 03:25 PM
