Good morning and peace to all of you:
I haven't been around much lately due to multiple issues including legal matters and a car accident (on the day my husband died, nonetheless). But today is especially daunting for me and my family and I'm asking for all the prayers, thoughts, and positive wishes I can get. I wasn't going to trouble you guys with this, but my heart is full and sad and I just really don't know what to do.
My oldest sister is no longer with us here on the earth. She passed away at home with her beloved pets by her side on July 23, 2014. Today begins the end of her mortal journey here on Earth with her viewing and wake today and her funeral and interment tomorrow.
I know I probably should've come to you guys sooner, but this has been so devastating to us that I simply could not do it prior to today.
Out of EVERYONE I know, she is the one person that I can say has NEVER harmed another living soul....not intentionally or by accident. In today's society that is becoming increasingly difficult to find, but I've had the honor and privelege to say that I knew of one and she happened to be related to me.
She was a nurse for almost three decades providing comfort and healing throughout her career. When she retired from nursing, she joined Medical Records as a Quality Control Specialist. She retired from her career December 31, 2013; she really did not get the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of her labor, but she lived quietly with her loving pets (cat and dog) until her passing July 23.
One final thing; stay in touch with your family and loved ones. Do not allow the issues of life to get in the way of your relationships. Don't ever put yourselves thorough the agony of one day getting that phone call (in my case, I came to visit with her and was the one who "found" her after she died) and someone telling you that someone you loved but lost touch and connection with is gone. It is the absolute worst feeling in the world and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (provided I had one).
It has been my honor and privilege to introduce to all of you a brief snapshot of my sister Charylene....may she rest in peace in this life and become a dynamic force in the Universe in her next.
