A tragic loss

Post by **FLOATFISHIN** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 9:52 pm

Well, today was workin out to be a good day, not to much sleep after getting off work, but seemed to be a good day.

Well, then it turned out to be the worst day of my life in a matter of 3 phone calls....

I called my mom to say hi this eve, and my brother awnsered, I found it odd he would pick up the phone [:s] I was then informed that my Mom's Best freind of 40+ yrs had past away [:^(] I knew this woderfull woman from when I was born, She was an amazing lady in all ways!!! She had 2 great son's, and a beautiful daughter, and her husband "Gaston" was a man I still look up to. Beth succomed to Alzimers (Spelling?) and made her way to a better place, Bless her wonderfull soul.

So after about 2 hrs of tears (I'm home bymyself) I finally got to speak to my mother for some reason was out at my Uncle's place in Manotick. This I also found odd, for X-mas is around the corner and family would meet for sure then...

I tried mom's cell to no avail, so I called my uncle's home # and was greeted on the other end by a police officer........

Without detail, I spoke to my mother, and learned my beautiful cousin at only the age of 19 had her life taken away from her [:^(] [:x]

Though I do not know anything of how it took place, I only 2 hrs before lost a woman I adored, but then to find out my beautiful cousin had also passed [:s]

Kelly was such a beautiful girl and had so many things going for her, she was off to college next yr(With Honours) and she was taken away from us way to soon. I as I write this still have tears on my face, I deserved to go, not her.

After loosing my Gramma just a few weeks back at the service, Kelly read a poem for Gramma, and now the family enduring this loss (Esp my lovley mom's for loosing her best friend) I hate to say it, but X-mas just aint going to be a celebration.

To Beth Hone

And

Kelly Pegg

You will always be in your families and friends heart and thoughts

I love you both and, will miss you more than I could say.

Float.

Time does heal the wounds.

My condolences

My condolences Float, Alzheimer's is a tough disease that my family is dealing with my grandma, and to lose someone at such a young age is tragic. I'm sure the 2 of them would want you and your family to still celebrate xmas.

All the Best,

Denis

Man that is really tragic Float! I could feel your pain and as disasterous as that is the family needs to help each other out more then ever so don't grieve too long and get the family together and enjoy and appreciate the little time we have on this earth. Sometimes there just isn't any rational reason why these things happen but it is so important to remember the good times and celebrate their lives and be glad that you were able to be a part of their lives. Hang in there, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Kevin,

There are some terrible things that happen that can bear no explanation and certainly not fairness. It truly seems some time that bad things come in groups.

I am so sorry for your whole family.

Please take comfort in supporting eachother and in recalling happier times.

Thinking of you, Float.
