SOME VERY SAD NEWS-MARY-MY DOGS MY GARDEN AND MARY

Yesterday, Sunday,

I felt compelled/driven

to make contact with my friend,

Mary F.

Her blog, 

My Dogs My Garden & Mary

has not been active

for a while.

I was in contact with her

at least once a week

until a few weeks ago.

She has had several health issues

in the past few years-

heart issues and COPD.

However, she was a bright spirit 

and full of life.

The last time I talked to her she was

scared because she was having

so much trouble breathing

and they wanted to do a procedure

on her heart.

Yesterday, I was determined to 

contact her.

Her phone was disconnected

and I left a message for her son

(I think I have the right number)

on his phone.

Lastly, I went to her FB page

and starting visiting contacts

that I thought looked her age.

I found one that had a picture of

herself with Mary.

I sent her a message.

This morning,

I heard from her.

Mary passed away YESTERDAY

while I was searching for her.

Do YOU think WE are not connected

by some force beyond this earth?

I will miss Mary----a lot.

I hope someone takes her two pups in

that she loved so much.

She also had a roommate and I am

sure the roommate is reeling

with all of this, too.

Please pray for her son, Shaun,

and her granddaughter, Kelly.

They were the most important

people in her life.

I am comforted knowing that she is

NO LONGER STRUGGLING

to breath.

Although my heart aches I 

know she is no longer in pain,

no longer anxious, and

no longer struggling.

"A death is not the extinguishing of a light

but the putting out of the lamp

because the dawn has come."

RIP, dear Mary, you are in my heart!
