Losing a Loved one

December 12, 6am, was the time I got the call from my mother. My cousin had called my Grandparents whom called my mother. My aunt, 48 yrs old, was found dead in her home. We were all in shock as it was very unexpected. Not knowing anything other than that anything and everthing raced through my mind. My mom had just talked to her a couple of days before hand and she had seemed to be doing well. She had receive DH and I's Christmas card and she was happy to know we were thinging of her. After a couple of days of agonizing waiting, we received news that she was diasnosed at the begining of the week with stage 4 liver cancer. We were told she was found in bed with her pj's still on. Knowing or thinking that she went peacfully, and painlessly makes it a little easier to cope. I am so so very thankful she was able to attend our wedding this past August and visit with family, not knowing it would be the last time we were all able to be together as a family.

Service arrangement are still in negotiation but will most likly be held this weekend. Thank you to everyone what have been praying and thinking of my family in this time of hurt.
