My friend has passed away.....

14 years ago

I am just a bucket of tears, I am sad, but also relieved.

Thank you all for your wishes of a gentle passing.

It was all meant to be I suppose.

Another good friend from school called me and we decided we would exchange emails about all the fun we had with her.

To keep her alive in a sense. Mostly for our healing I am sure.

There are more of her escapades than I can imagine, she was a very colorful person....and will be missed dearly..

It seems so strange, to hear just my feet. And there at the doorway, there is no one to greet. For so many years you were there by my side. Ready to lay down, or just take a ride. It never mattered to you, what it was we did. You were always there for me, doing whatever I bid. The touch of your fur, there upon my hand, Or for hours at my feet, where you would stand. You loved me forever, no matter my mood. Loved me still on the days, that I forgot your food. Dressed for success or in old blue jeans, Worn out sweaters, that were torn at the seams. How I was dressed never mattered to you, Your only desire was to keep me from being blue You've left me to go on, to that place in the sky. Friends don't believe the tears that I've cried. But while you're up there, remember you're no stray. Cause I'll come looking for you, again someday. Love Penny

thanks everyone. I'm getting a card to send to her today. I think George (Marg's partner) became close to Marg's family because he wasn't close to his own , except when they wanted money. I'm sure he was closer to Rach since she was always with Marg so I'm sure he's feeling he has lost it all. I remember Marg saying that they had a cake and party for him for his 60th birthday and he cried because no one had ever done such a nice thing for him. I also think he's drinking a lot again and he may have been drunk when he texted Rach. It's all just so sad. Thanks again Diane

Such a mixed blessing, Trin, I know.

I'm so sorry that she's gone, much too early and from something so nasty. I'm thankful you had at least a little time to get prepared for it, but I know that it's never long enough.

She is home now and will suffer no more. For that we must be thankful, yet it hurts to lose anyone we love. Luckily memories don't die, so hang on to all of those precious ones you have.

Thank you all for your heart felt thoughtfulness. It is so hard to lose someone. Such a void is left.
I remember when we all used to hang out together at her house in Portland. We were all hairdressers by then, and worked around town at different shops. Marcella was always thin by nature, and she would always eat Twinkies to try and put on weight. She LOVED Twinkies. And they were affordable back in those days. Most people went to the kitchen for a glass of water, she would go and get a Twinkie. So often in fact, like a mother hen, her roomate would hear Marcella in the kitchen, and without even looking up say "stay out of the Twinkies Marcella." She could easily consume a box a day. But then have no room left in her tiny belly for some "real food."
We dubbed her "Twinkie" ever after.

One less flower growing in the garden in Portland Oregon today.

I'm so so sorry that your friend lost her battle with cancer. You are right, there is a special bond created when you are friends with someone you went to school with. I am glad for you that you have many memories of your times with her to help mend your broken heart.

Please accept my deepest condolences. ((((Hugs))))
