Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Patti-- Thank you for asking re: my situation. I would be interested in what you learned. It's funny I should just happen to read this tonight because it (the not knowing, can't we do something, how do I go on in a situation like this) is bugging me more & more lately. Tks again.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Dear Penny, I will put something together on behalf of the group:) I was just thinking about that myself. I would like to go see her tomorrow or sunday morning but she hasnt called me back yet. She said she would call when she felt up to it. I want to call her so bad but I want to go by her wishes. She did say she would have family around up until sunday then she would probably be alone monday and tuesday. She said that she would probably like to see me then.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 , Would it be possible to set up a little fund to buy Laurie her favorite flowers or a care package from the group (when I was hospitalized, I would have killed for fresh fruit). Would you do that for anyone who wishes to contribute? The news is truly heartbreaking, Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 Laurie has two sons 19 and 21. I cant remember thier names for the life of me. I have it written down somewhere. I think that I am going to give her a call today. She will let me know if she wants to visit or not and knows it wont hurt my feelings if shes not up to it. I was thinking of getting her some little teddy bears, fruit, snacks, cookies, and some flowers. I have to find out what book she would like because I know she loves books. I have the money to handle it......if there is anything that you would like me to give to her you can mail to me and I will hand deliver it. You may want to express it on Monday so that I can get it to her by wednesday just incase they would release her before Thanksgiving. I dont think that will happen but we can only hope. My address: Hirsh 15128 Green ave. Omaha, Ne. 68138 ( I am a pretty trusting soul...not sure if I should have done that . oh well) If items are received after she leaves I will forward them to her home. Actually....we are going to be close to desmoines over thanksgiving come to think of it!!! More later! Laurie loves all of you!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 Dear Lynn, thankyou for the support. The Lied, TX center is not far from my home. I am going to be happy to see Laurie and Steve. I want to meet her (I haven't told him yet) but I am worried that he may feel uncomfortable or get upset with the whole situation. I know would enjoy her husband. He is very social such as and I think they would hit it off wonderfully. I think Steve needs a " man " to visit with as well. There is never really a way to mentally prepare ones self for a situation such as this. I am going to take some pictures of the family from the holidays to show them and just " be there " for them. I hope this doesn't sound strange, not sure how to word this correctly, but...I am comfortable with death so to speak. I have been by the side of many that have passed. Death is very natural in a sense. I have probably been to approx. 40 or so funerals in my life time so far. Several just in the last 6 months. If I didn't have my faith I guess it would be harder on me. I feel a sense of peace that Laurie is a very religious person....that eases the pain for me to know that. I pray that her faith is holding her together at this time. Sorry this is so long......had to talk for a moment. Thanks for listening!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 " He is very social such as and I think they would hit it off wonderfully. I think Steve needs a " man " to visit with as well. " I got the impression that Steve wasn't much of a sharer. I worry about him and I hope will befriend him it may be easier for Steve to open up to and you better even than family. I'm so glad that you are going. I know you'll be such a comfort to her and Steve. I'm glad that Laurie will be going to heaven but am still having a hard time accepting what has happened to her and please give her a hug for me and tell her that I love her. Also I talked with JQ and please give Laurie her love too. How long do you expect her to be there. Please send the address again. JQ wanted to send her something. Love, Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
