Julie passed away at 7:30 this evening.
I was at work when my brother in law Russ called me and told me I'd better get over there.
I did, but not in time.
This isn't a time for sadness for myself and my family.
She fought the good fight and lasted far longer than any of us would have ever imagined!
Figures.. she'd decide to make her exit on Ash Wednesday ;)
That's our Jutes!
I am not asking for prayers for strength for any of us.
We are strong and have been waiting for this for a long time now.
She is at peace and so are we.:flowers:
 
it is a positive thing that you were ready & well-prepared, & that there is now peace & not grief, lollie. shall respect that.
 
Our most heart felt sympathy from my wife and me girl, you and yours will be in our thoughts.
 
you have my sympathy glad you are tough and handling it well i see somany people who can't and it just makes for more problems as im also like you i find my self the post every one hs using for support good luck and condolences from me i understand what you are going through
 
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I am glad that you and your family are strong. Remember the good times.
 
Even with the time to prepare, let yourself feel the moment, and the grief. It will come at some time, but maybe not right now. Let yourself live the moment, and remember the good things of life, and your sister. I believe they are watching over us, and wish us to be happy in our own lives.

Having lost my twin 30 years ago, I too understand.

Keep strong, but not so much so you cann't feel......

Regards, Kirk
 
May she walk the shining fields forever among the long grass, knowing neither cold or want. She is no longer having to fight.
 
My Condolences Lollie. :( After fighting the long fight and seeing them suffer it is a relief, but the loss is still there and will hit you just the same. My thoughts and prayers are with you. These next few days / weeks will be tougher than you might expect. God bless. :flowers:
 
Cathy and I just saw this post today PG

Our sympathies

You've been expecting this, and we know you can handle it. But, when the pain and sorrow really hit, don't fight it as that
only makes it hurt more, and longer.

You and yours are in our thoughts and hearts.

The visitations will be at the funeral home Saturday and Sunday afternoon, then the funeral is at their church on Monday morning.

Russ my (BIL) and the kids went to the funeral home this afternoon to help with the write up for the obituary, and to get everything planned.
Russ is holding up very well! Talked to him later again and he was headed downtown to get a haircut and then he and my nephew Ryan were going to the mall to buy black pants and new suit jackets.
Glad they mentioned that, because I was looking through the closet and was trying to piece together some outfits,then decided to update my church/funeral attire.

My oldest son and rock..Jeff.. is coming on Saturday, then back for the funeral on Monday.
Youngest son Tyler knows about it, he saw it on FACEBOOK (on my nephew John's wall) and called me at 7 this morning chewing me out because he had to find out that way.
Guess what sonny boy?? you don't tell a soul where the hell you are and we don't know your phone number, so what do you expect?
He told me he was coming down to see me this evening, I told him not to bother, because I am okay.
There has been an ongoing thing with him from a year ago where he told me and the family we can all go to hell.
If he shows up for the service, he shows up and I DO want him to be there, because after all, this is his Aunt. and I know he wants to be there for me.
The thing is, the rest of the family don't want him around.. so I am caught between a rock and a hard place.
Enough about that.


I am fine. This was expected. We were well prepared.
The most amazing thing to me is how well Russ is really doing.
Then again, he always was a strong guy.
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.
She's in Heaven now with Mommy and Dad, my Steven and the rest of the family who have gone before us.
