I avoided posting in this thread because the I'm so sorry like I posted in Jodi's thread just seems so inadequate.

Sundial, so sorry for your loss. Years ago we lost my brother to cancer. It's painful to watch the suffering they go through. May your memories keep her spirit with you always.

Thank you all for your words of comfort and encouragement. Our family truly felt uplifted during the past few days, despite the pain of our loss. As the days come to an end, I find little treasures that were overshadowed by distractions. Sunflowers blooming across the field, a cup of mint tea, hummingbirds that curiously study a bouquet of flowers, a child's laughter, and the pink hues of a reluctant sunset. I feel her presence, as if a quilt were gently laid around my shoulders. I can only smile as I know she would rather rejoice the art of living rather than mourn the loss. She is our hope of a complete reunion and we will one day rejoice together.

final tribute
My sister-in-law enjoyed the company of her girlfriends and they would dress up in hats, boas and vintage jewelry. She called it foo-foo and many evenings were spent enjoying the southern traditions. As a tribute, we donned our hats and celebrated her life in a style she so enjoyed. I'm on the left.
