Sweet Carolyn
There will come a time that I will post some frivolous, random thoughts about something like cleaning out my refrigerator or taking a walk on a beautiful spring day. Yes, I have started posts about those very topics this week. I also have some great stories about the grands. You may read them some day. This will not be the day.
Today my heart is broken--once again. Beautiful, intelligent, talented, vivacious twelve-year-old Carolyn lost her battle with cancer and went home to heaven. Carolyn is the daughter of my nephew, Jeff; granddaughter of my sister, Barbara. She fought valiantly for two and a half years. Now she is healed and is with Jesus, who she loves! (I posted about Carolyn here. I did not continue to relay information about her progress because of privacy issues.)
I will be traveling to Texas for this funeral--a trip I have made too many times in the past few years. Please remember my family as we--again--remember and honor a loved one, celebrate a life lived well, and rejoice in the power of saving grace.
Please remember Carolyn's sweet family. Her parents and her younger brother could certainly use some prayers for peace and comfort at this time.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Myrna, I knew this was coming but I am still so sorry to hear it. Again, we grieve, but not without hope.
I will continue to pray for you all. Travel safely.
Oh Myrna I am so sorry to hear more sad, from the earthly perspective, news for your family. Safe travels and our thoughts and prayers go with you and with the entire family.

So much sadness! My sincerest sympathies to all of you, Myrna.
I'm so sorry. I know you take heart in the fact that your precious husband and now Carolyn are in the presence of our Jesus. They are happy.

Myrna, My heart goes out to you and to your family once again. We pray for safe traveling and my prayers go with you.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. These things are so hard to understand in this life but I know you know God has a purpose in everything. My prayers for you all once again as you face the days ahead.
You know you are covered with prayers.
Myrna, I am so sorry about your niece losing her life at such a young age.
Love and Prayers,
Betty
My prayers are with you and your family once more as you grieve the loss of such a beautiful child - another angel to watch over you.
So sorry to hear your sad news...I keep thoughts of you in my heart and may you have a safe trip.
So sorry to hear this Myrna. We will continue to pray for her family. Our niece (Sophia) has been fighting cancer again too. They removed the new brain tumor 3 weeks ago and she is waiting to start radiation.
My goodness, your family has certainly been hit hard lately. I know it will be sad, but also a celebration of her being in a MUCH better place!
I am so sorry. Prayers are being said for you and your family.
God Bless
Linda
Myrna...I'm truly sorry to hear of more family sorrow for you! (((HUGS)))
