one of my favorite aunt's passed away
 

early morning on 8-7-02 one of my favorite aunt's passed away, the big C, what sux is we are so far behind at work, i may not get to be a pallbearer, which i hate doing anyway, but aunt shirley, i know you are in a better place, i will alway's miss you.:( r. i. p.

Its never easy Marty. Think of the good times and hang tough bro. Something tells me you are someones favorite uncle...

thank's rick, we got into a huge arguement , month's ago, but i went to see her about 3 week's ago, we talked & got it straight, which i feel better about, gotta go to the viewing later today, then the funeral, friday, im just sick of this, just too many of my family has died in 4 year's. thank's man.

Marty, I know how hard this is, but it really is great that you two got to spend some time together and settle your differences before hand. The best thing I ever did was to spend time with my Grandmother, and tell her how much I loved her, and appreciated her, the last time I saw her before she died. We didn't know for sure if I'd see her again, but I just couldn't take the chance. When I flew home, I was at peace because I knew that I had told her all the things I wanted to, and I would never have to deal with "If only I had...".

Sorry man, this isn't about me.

Marty, it sounds to me like it's time for you and Odie to start doing some livin' when she get's back!

:)

Take care,
~Chris

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's hard for anyone to lose a loved one. Last year I lost 5 relatives. My family is so spread out that we didn't see much of each other. It was hard on all of us, especially my mother and grandmother.

The most important thing any one person could ever have is family.

I hope that you pull through this.

:(
 

Marty,
I'm really really sorry about your aunt....I havent lost anyone REALLY close to me yet. And its not something I'm looking forward to! I hope things go okay today...Hang in there man. My thoughts are with ya! :) Take Care, Christine :)

Dude, that suxs.:( I'll be praying for you.

Sympathy and reflection
 

Marty:

I'm was sorry to learn of the passing of your aunt but I'm also glad that you were able to straighten things out with her beforehand. I hate cancer. I've lost family members and one or two friends because of it, one recently.

Marty, one of the things Christianity teaches is that we're just passing through here, this world is not our home. As we mature and see older relatives (and sometime younger people) die from various causes, this fact becomes more apparent. If nothing else, it should - as you have - make us at least consider that these 70 or so years (often much less) fly by and then...what? The bible has one answer, the only one, in my opinion but the point is that tragedy and loss - while sad, even depressing - can also lead to a better awareness of the real important things in life.

I know you'll be fine but please accept my sympathy for your loss.

Sorry about your loss. You will be in my prayers also.

Sorry to hear about that man, someone had better plans for her. You have to be strong, and just know she lived a good life and even though you didn't always see eye to eye that she passed away with a good thought of you and will be watching you from above.

Best Wishes,
Sam.

I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. I lost my Great Grandmother a couple weeks ago, she was almost 97 years old. It's never easy. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. C-ya, Melisa
