I just found out that my dad's brother died. For me, it is significant because it was my dad's brother. My dad died very young and this uncle was the last of my dad's family to go. The funeral is in Pennsylvania and I don't think I can afford to fly out right now. It breaks my heart to miss this. Earlier this year, my mom died and I flew her out to Pennsylvania for her funeral and burial because that is where we are from. She came to live with me in California after my dad died. I can not believe how much I miss her. Her sister died 2 months after she did and her sister's husband died in Nov. I lost 4 important people in one year! That's pretty crazy. I can't say that I didn't feel it coming, though. I think we get a sense tragedy before it happens, don't you? Anyways, I wanted to share with all of you because I'm starting to feel a sense of family on this board. Thank you for your thoughts and/or prayers. Mary Ann |

Sorry for the loss of your uncle. My uncle will be buried on Tuesday. I guess I am fortunate enough to be there for the family. Now I'm down to 1 uncle & 2 aunts.

I AM THE BIGGEST JOHN FAN!

Mary Ann and Olen terribly saddened by the news. This time of year makes it even more traumatic. |
|
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' ! I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN | |

Wackadoo I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can only imagine how much it hurts you to not be able to attend the funeral. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. In October of 1992 I lost my father-in-law, three months later in January of 1993 I lost my Dad and then 5 months later I lost my grandmother. I understand how traumatic it is to lose so many people so closely together. You sometimes feel as if it will never end. |

Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement. There are some amazing people on this board. Olen...best wishes to you tomorrow at your uncle's funeral. I am also down to 2 aunts and 1 uncle. Jana... you had some major losses within a year. That must have wiped you out emotionally. I lost my dad so many years ago but I still think of him often. Losing his brother feels like the final 'cord' cut. I never knew my mom's mother and my dad's mother died when I was a child but I know how close my children felt to my mom and they miss her terribly much. I do, too!!! Thanks Dorothy, Beep, Maccascruff, Rose, Maccasgirl, Theonlyfab4fan, and BikerlLkeanIcon for all of your kind words. You are all so thoughtful. It feels like there have been so many losses on this board this year and one of the things that brings us all even closer to each other. God bless you all, Mary Ann |

So sorry to hear of your loss. My boyfriend very well knows how losing a loved one can be this year, too. He lost his beloved uncle, a very beloved friend, and a woman he grew up to know as like a second mom to him and he lost them all in about a 5 span. Very hard for him to deal with. I pray that you and your family are able to deal with your losses. This a very rough time. |

Mary Ann, I was away from the board for awhile and I just read about the horrible year you've had. I'm so sorry for the losses you've had to endure. I hope 2007 will start to bring you some comfort. Olen, Dean, Kirsten, Diane and anyone else who has suffered the loss of someone special, I hope life will treat you more kindly in the year ahead.
