I wish I could come and give you a hug.
Thank you for caring so much, I feel blessed to know such wonderful people as you are.
I can imagine the pain of cleaning out your sisters house, that is so final, now you have to admit that she is gone. And that is something we never want to do.
My friend Mary promised me that I would not need to attend her funeral, as she would not have one and almost 30 years later, I still stop and think “Should send Mary this one”, she would have loved this thread and taught me so much that is on it.
They say that when you see the time 11:11 on your clock, it means that God is with you.
That is OK, with me, reminds me to say an extra prayer for the day.
When I see 5:55, I say hello to Mary. No, the 5:55 has no meaning to us, that I know of, it just seemed to fit her.
Our quilt patterns were usually in multiples of 2 or even a nine patch.
Don’t forget to watch for pennies and figure that your sister is tossing them to remind you she still loves you.
May God grant you a few extra blessings.

You always seem to know the comforting things to say. I start for the phone several times a day to tell “Auntie” something. She married late in life, had no children, so she was foster grammy, Auntie and great Auntie to all neices and nephews (including my five children.) Living next door, she always had a surprise in her pocket every night when she came home from work. My five would wait on the doorstep for her arrival and run down the path to see what that nights surprise was. How they loved her!! Every Sunday, she collected the neices and nephews to take to Sunday School where she was a teacher. She served her God well and I am sure she has a special place in heaven reunited with her beloved hubby, who was also a very special person.
Granny just had to tell you-still cleaning aunties things today. Cleaning out an old purse and there in the bottom-a lone penny. Sis just knew how tired and down hearted I was today and she had to tell me she loved me.
