Calliopesgirl: Abba FAther, I pray you keep a good watch on my friend, Coleete. I will not try to pull her back into this realm....I will try to ascend and reach her up in her realm. For this realm is no longer for her...I release her with love into your good hands, Father God.
Amen.
Thank you Calliope, I let her go today. Yesterday, was too shocked. I know she is in a better place. Maybe it was meant to happen, who knows. My friends and I are just sickened that her family was not helping her more after he came home from the hospital. Instead, they wanted her to do things for them. She was a person who took good care of her family. But she is free of that now.

doberman3: We were in a close group of girlfriends. Mysteriously brought together. We laughed, talked about problems, etc. We were tight. Now we have lost Coleete. People are not replaceable. She was such a good person. Her health had gotten bad, a kidney transplant was starting to not work. I am lucky I can see her face. I lost another good girlfriend several years ago. She always had a smile on her face and supported her friends. We became very close. But she died of cancer. It's hard to understand why the really good people die soon. Seems like the bad ones, keep on going.
Meeting with friends of our group, not the Stepford Wifes to be together today. Funeral coming up.
Any of you that believe in prayer or other, please think of my friend Colette. She was kind to everyone and had the best sense of humor.
L The Dobe They say life is short, so contact a friend soon and tell them you love them. Time waits for no one.

Hi all, will get back on in a couple of hours, got to go to be with my Dobie Rescue group for an event.
This is what CS is about. If you stick to the forums, you become friends. Then at a time like this, you can post about something going on in your life and friends answer. Thank you so much.
bestbefore: Hi Dobe, it's always sad to lose anyone so early in their life.
I hope you don't mind but I posted this to remind people of how short life is for some folks. Take care
Slow Dance
This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital. SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round ?
Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last.
Do you run through each day On the fly?
When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head?
You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last..
When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away.
Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over.
I had to answer this from Best. What a meaningfull poem. This is the topic my friends and I were talking about - make your time count, stop the rushing. Don't take people for granted. Thanks so much Bestbefore.
Now Best, why are you Bestbefore, you are Bestnow!
Thanks Yabba, the funeral will be Saturday. The strange thing is she will be at a cementary right next to the propery where my Master Gardener demo garden and library are. I will be able to put down flowers whenever I want.
immanuelle: My sincerest condolenses on your loss. How difficult this will be for her loved ones, especially at this time of year.
Sincerely,
Imma
Imma, thank you. Yes, it was Dec 1. A bad time of year. But, she needed a break from suffering. She had a kidney transplant and was having problems. So she would have had to wait and see about that and all the rest. She had a kidney transplant 23 years ago and it was always touch and go. Plus being diabetic. That is a hard life.
Jac, thank you. I was surprised Rock and Chris had the same thing happen. Our group of ladies were lucky to have Colette in our group. She had alot of health problems but never let on to it. One of us would pick her up for lunch or dinner. I find happiness in knowing she wanted to be around us. We are a silly bunch. One time we were at a restaurant and talking about men, and cracking up. We noticed 2 men move from one table to be right next to us so they could hear what was going on. That really made us laugh.

I am newly back but for Dober and the rest fo the people who have lost someone recently, I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost someone on Sat. to Suicide and last month and 1 to cancer and another suicide, so I have a feeling what you all are going through.
True friends are like diamonds, Precious and rare, False friends are like autum leaves, Found everywhere.
The memories will last forever and your dear friend's spirit will sorely be missed. Reminisce about all the good times you shared together , i know this helped me in the loss of my dear friend a while back .
