On Friday, our dear friend finally was released from her pain and suffering. Ovarian Cancer took her from us. She had fought so hard and suffered through so many different kinds of treatments, but as many of us know, Cancer sometimes is stronger than any medicine that can be used. Prayers brought her peace; Hospice brought her rest; her wonderful husband brought her comfort; grandchildren brought her smiles; loving sons brought her reassurances; and then finally God wrapped her tiny, fragile, exhausted body into his comforting arms to take her home.
We wept for our loss and rejoiced for her new life. Rest well, my friend; you will be missed.
When I first met Janie she had long, thick, brown hair and a heart that was open to everyone who needed help. This picture shows her towards the end of her battle. Her love and compassion never lessened.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteMay the memories of your friend bring you peace and comfort so that the suffering and sorrow of her passing doesn't define who she was.
Please accept my sympathies, Ferret, on the loss of your beloved friend.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt you will see each other again, and your kindred spirits will always be linked in a way that is special.
