[Guest guest]

Rose-

I am so sorry for your loss; it is such a shock. I don't know what lesson we

are supposed to learn from this......maybe live each moment and enjoy the

beauty of the world as well as the love for others.

I am sending you a great big **NJ HUG** from me to you and yours.

in love,

Hi Rose,

I'm so sorry to hear of your tragic losses.........life just doesn't seem

fair at times. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult

time......

It saddens me to hear that life was snatched away at such an early age. I

guess there is a plan for all of us...........many things just can't be

explained or understood.

My thoughts are with you,

Dear, dear Rose.

Oh, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of . When a loved

one leaves us so suddenly, it is truly a shock to our entire being.

Such an " earth angel " as can do even greater works on the other

side. She is with you, in your heart and soul. Let your tears

flow, dear. My heart is with you.

Living in Faith,

very sudden death of a dear, sweet, vibrant young friend who was a

real Earth Angel to everyone who crossed her path. Her name was

. No major health problems, although she did have occasional

mild seizures.

>

> At first that's what I thought had happened when I found she had

been rushed to the hospital, but it turned out to be an aneuryism in

the brain. The friend that initially told me he had had to call an

ambulance for her called me at 12:44 a.m. to let me know that

she " wasn't going to be with us anymore. " I was in complete shock!

Asked if she was in a coma...no, he said...she was brain-dead and it

was up to the family to decide whether or not to " unplug " her.

>

> On Sunday morning she had another one, and I guess the family did

not have to make that horrible decision. I just can't believe that

someone who always, always reached out to help others and make people

smile ALL the time could go like this...at the age of 42...(and

looked much younger). She was interested in everyone, she spoke many

languages, was always reading, helped out at missions, collected toys

and clothes for the disadvantaged, etc!

>

> She didn't sing, but always came to our Karaoke shows and

thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the singers...loved music...I

can't imagine not seeing her smiling, shining face or getting a " bear

hug " even though she was all of 4 foot 8 inches and I'm 5 foot 7

inches.

> We were just now getting over the sudden death of another dear

friend from kidney cancer in November. and I had known him for

over 10 years. His name was Mark. Only diagnosed two months prior to

his death in November and never even had the chance to undergo

chemo...he was only 55. He just started getting ill at the first of

the year, and we knew something was wrong because of the weight loss

and his tiredness, but couldn't get him to go to a doctor. By the

time he did, it was too late.

>

> We have lost so many, many friends in the last 5 years that I can

hardly count them. Most of them have had sudden, major illnesses, and

we have a lot of disabled friends that we do worry about now.

Worried, too about my mother, who is 94 and in very poor health, but

you don't expect something like what happened to out of the

blue like this!

>

> Thank you for listening. I certainly hope this new year is a better

one...for everyone!
