Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
First, let me say THANK YOU to the sweet souls who return each day to my blog ❤
On Wednesday morning our good Lord took my sister Eileen home, no more pain, no more struggles … she is free. I am blessed for having such an amazing sweet soul for a sister, and honored to have called her my best friend. We parted with no words unspoken, no stone left unturned and we enjoyed so may amazing events (birthdays, babies, road trips, travels) and more “together”.
I thank her loving family for allowing me to “steal her away” from them so much! Sometimes they laughed because we just saw each other and could still spend 3 hours talking on the phone! Those moments can’t be replaced but are stored in my heart until we meet again.
Right now my tears fall like rain, but I know she is still here with me and when I have finished my chores that the Lord has chosen for me, we will be together again. She’s safe with my Mom and my sister Ruthie and the rest of our loved ones we have missed dearly.
Thank you for patiently waiting, I will be making cards again soon and sharing them with you because that was one thing that we did together and brought us closer than either of us could have imaged ❤ Another of Gods little blessings.
So very sorry for your loss.
Thank You Cheryle ❤
Sorry to hear about your loss. I know how close you two were and am sure she will be missed.

Thank you Lynne ❤ Yep … she was my bestie! I was privileged not only to have her as a sister, but as my best friend. She leaves a void no one can fill ❤
Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Thank you so very much Bernice ❤
I am very saddened by the news. My very deepest sympathy! God is now holding her. Hold onto all those wonderful memories! God is also beside you, holding you up during this difficult time.
Thank you Kathie for your sweet words of comfort ❤ They help hold me up as well. The memories are cherished. We talked about so many of the things we got to do and the wonderful people we have met.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family – so very sorry for your loss – Eileen was a lovely lady, I so enjoyed talking and laughing with her at your retreats. She will be missed but I know she is in a better place now, at peace with no more pain and struggles. God bless…
So beautifully said Linda, your kind words are a comfort ❤ So many special people we have met on this journey … we both knew how blessed we were.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at the loss of your sister, Eileen. Even though she is gone from this earth she will forever be in your heart. I’ve enjoyed your blog and your beautiful cards and projects for awhile. Thank you for sharing!
