Remember I said that I had an old school friend who just got lung cancer and she sent me a message right away cause she knew that was what I had and I talked to her about it. She has 2 college age kids. Well, it's been like a month and I just got word that she passed away at 3:15 a.m. this morning. I am glad she went quick and didn't suffer long with the cancer. Her family blame the doctors and nurses cause they said she was terminal and didn't do much to help her. I want to cry. Instead I washed some windows and put up one of the 2 pairs of new curtains, have to hem the other pair. I got a lot done but I think I over did it, getting nauseated. Thanks for all the prayers you sent Phyllis when I posted to you. I know she is at peace and her daughter said they already got a sign that she is in Heaven. She hasn't told me what that sign is yet, I hope she tells me. Calling hours are Friday and I have to go. Hugs, Debra

So sorry to hear of the passing of your friend but I have to agree with you, at least she didn't have to suffer. I will keep the both of you in my prayers. I think of you often & hope you continue your fight, I know you are a strong lady. Hugs. Arlene

Just got back from the calling hours. It was packed 10 minutes into the 3 hour viewing.

Just repeat the above and know that you will see your friend again.

I agree, she found out she had the mass in her lung and died 6 weeks later. Too fast for family but I feel it was for the best and am thankful she only suffered a short time. I will miss her smile.
12407I will be praying for the family.....I know Phyllis will be missed alot but I hope the joyful memories will come to the minds of the family and you.

They found the mass in her lung Feb. 6th so she lasted about 6 weeks. I am so glad she went quick rather than suffering. She had 1 chemo treatment. I am taking care of myself. Blood work tomorrow and then next Wednesday I start a different kind of chemo.

Thank you, we all need them at one time or another. I am not looking forward to Friday but I will go to the calling hours and hug the kids and let them know she is at peace.
5335Dear Debra, I am sorry to hear about your friend's passing. The Lord has mercy upon His children, although He sometimes has a higher calling for us than what we would like to do. I am praying for her family's acceptance and realisation that she is at peace. I also pray for you to get well again. Please rest more - be kind to yourself - you deserve a break. Lovies. Susie.*****

Thank you. I hope they realize she is better off now, she would have only suffered a lot if she had hung on and tried to fight the cancer, she had it in several places.

Thank you, when the family went home they said a crane (large bird) flew over their house and you don't see them often in the area, they felt that was a sign from Phyllis that she is in Heaven now.

Yeah, I got carried away to keep my mind busy. Friday calling hours will be hard. Don't know what other friends will be there but I have never met her children, only message the daughter on facebook but she is going to need a hug. Already sent FSL angels to the house.
255054Oh my, this is so sad. I am praying for you and the family of your dear friend. I am sorry to became ill from doing too much. Better rest and watch something happy to make you feel better...it is a restful escape! Hugs and God Bless!

Thank you. Her kids are going to have a lot to deal with over the next couple of months. Clearing out her clothes and stuff has to be the hardest.
158718Debra,
I'm so sorry to hear of your friend. When I saw your message I thought about your orignal message and how it wasn't too long ago. I couldn't believe it. Will send prayers for you and her family. Maybe you need to have that good cry.

Thank you, yes, it was fast. I think she was sick a lot longer than she knew. Don't feel like crying, I did that for her kids a few days ago, this is just shock.
23222So sorry to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. When I'm upset I clean till I pass out. Hope you didn't overdue. Hugs.

Yeah, I think I did overdo a bit, I can't keep my eyes open and it's 3-4 hours earlier than I usually go to bed. This was such a shock coming so soon after she got sick. I am glad she isn't suffering though. I feel it was for the best.

You need rest so your body can keep repairing itself. I hope her sudden passing don't get you down.

I feel so bad for her kids and husband. Her daughter doesn't understand that more time with her would have meant more pain for her mom, it was not going to be good. I sent angels to her and they may have arrived today!
29237Sorry, I was thinking of her yesterday, but when we talked I forgot to ask. Sending prayers to her family and your family too. DeVon

Yes, when she found out about her mass, the first thing she did was message me to call her. She was scared and I calmed her down. Her kids don't understand that she is better off, she did not have to suffer long. I wish for me to go quickly when the time is here and not just waste away in front of my family!
16529I am so sorry about this news, my sincere simpathy to all of you. She did not suffer and now she is with God.

Thank you, she was such a sweet dear person who lived and loved for her children. They are in college, but that is still young.
