I originally posted this as a reply to a different thread, but thought it might get read more by those not wanting to revisit some of the ugliness that has been present the past few days, so I reposted it as an original thread. Anyway.....

Sept 10, 2007
Unfortunately, all ''nebl'' did was state his lonely views on death and the legacies of those we've lost. For him/her, there is no legacy, no memories. However misguided I might find nebl's thoughts, and how sad I feel that somebody could be so lonely and bitter to post such, it is his right to do so. We don't have to love it (I'm guessing none of us did)..it's still his right to post his drivel. If NL finds it that offensive, they will remove it, but it should never overshadow the really sincere and warm thoughts so many have expressed.

For those of us who have lost a loved one or two recently, I hope you are all blessed with some kind of ''silver lining'' to this dark cloud of grief. I really believe that even the darkest and saddest events in our lives probably produce something good..(although not always immediate)... Here's hoping 2Cents' family finds something positive out of her passing...that each of us will learn from this how precious our friends/family are, and that none of us will wait until it's too late to share with those who are special to us....JUST how meaningful they are.


To LeAnn's family... her husband, her daughters, her son, her mom, her brother, all of her sisters, and her dad who is watching down from Above...
I pray for peace and comfort for your family during this time. Nobody who hasn't lost a close family member at such a young age can truly understand what you've all experienced, but I've been there too.

I do hope you all find some peace, and eventually something positive out of this.

Take care all...

Love,
Lil

Bless You Lil

You said it all in a meaningful and caring way. Words can be used to bring joy and happiness into our lives or be deceitful and harmful. You chose the right words to express how some may feel or not feel about the death of a loved one. It is time to put this aside but not forget because we all may be faced with this reality one day and coping will need to be a big part of the healing process.

Thank You

for being there for us and letting us know that people out there do care. It is hard for my family to lose our mother. My little sister is only 10 years old. I am just happy she has me to remind her of our mother and I will be there for her when she graudates, when she gets married I will make sure her special day is perfect as my mother did for me. We have each other still. We have all her memories and those we will be able to share with her grandson when he is older ( my son). He was very fond of his grandma and he was the apple of her eye. Her last wish before she died was to be a grandmother. I am just so happy and thankful that I had my child when I did so that she could be the grandma she always wanted to be even though it was only for a little over a year. My mom is now my guardian angel along with my grandfather ( her dad). At least now I know that my mom is with her dad and I am happy for that!

I love you mom!
