To Pat - and her beloved Bruce and her other beloveds - God's gained a great patriot. Keep them straight up there, Pat! And God will surely take care of your loved ones left behind.
One note - there are needs related to Pat's lengthy illness that could use some help. If you are interested in helping out with something like that, just Freepmail me, OK? This is not a fundraiser - just a Memorial Gift note. Thanks!
If anyone can post to a ping list, please do. I am going to be off the computer now for awhile - but do Frepmail if someone wants to do a Memorial gift for Lex. Thanks!
I also wanted to point out her last post I could find. Perhaps it can help another woman. I don't know if Lex was on the Harmone Progesterone, but there is much in the news about this causing HUGE problems for women, even life threatening,..and how they should get off it. If it caused Lex's problems.. perhaps it coming to light can save someone else.
Does anyone have a picture of her? In happier times?
God Speed to heaven Lex.. you will be missed.
"HRT has been devastating to my body. Caused me to have an enlarged uterus, enlarged liver, and a fibroid tumor. I am still suffering from taking hormones for just three (3) months.

Do you need Me?
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine".
Yet only in your mind can you know Me and experience Me.
Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I am in all.
Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.
I am there because I have to be, because I am.
Only in Me does the world have meaning, only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.
I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of the living cells are founded.
I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to.
I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I AM.
Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there.
Amen
DON'T CRY FOR MEDon't cry for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to cry, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace of sunset this day.Since my parting will leave a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times,
my loved one's touch.Perhaps to you, my time was all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me home, He set me free.
Prayer for you as well, dear Freedom'sWorthIt. I have a dear friend who suffered from shingles.
May God give her loved ones peace and blessings.
