August 12, 2021 at 11:28 pmMy Condolences Donna & Family;
One of the most comforting is the promise that life is continuous;
our time on earth is just one aspect of a soul’s journey of growth and transformation through time.Not only will we meet our loved one again beyond the veil we know as physical death, but our relationship with them will continue as well.One of the greatest gifts we can give to someone who has passed on is to pray for them.And most importantly, to pray that they will recognize that they have moved on from earthly life,and now have the opportunity to continue their soul development in a different way.The One’s we love on the other side are actually as close to us as our thoughts, and we can be most helpful to those individuals by focusing on the happy, joyful times together, and releasing – as much as we can – the sadness and grief we feel at their passing.
Love Betty Jean

August 13, 2021 at 11:48 pmDear Donna, I am so sorry to learn of Sue’s passing. Back in the day we had some fun time. We talked about Atlantic City and video poker.. One year she rented a house down the shore the week after mine. She asked me if she could show up earlier on saturday to avoid the 2:00 check in. I agreed she could. My last day I am cleaning up the house and Sue was knocking on the door. It was 7 am. She then sat on the couch, put her feet up on the coffee table and in typical Sue fashion, lit a cigarette. We laughed about that for years. Fly high, Sue, you will be missed.

My eyes haven’t stopped leaking since I heard this news. I had just been talking online to Sue a few days before. In typical Sue fashion, she was all concerned about me. Fly high Sue. I know I will see you again one day.
