Sorry Tiger 1,Prayers for her loved one's and Family.((((Hugs))))

Dear Tiger,

My loving thoughts are with you.

Sandy had a very special friend in You.

We talked every day, several times a day. I feel so lost without Sandy.:(

She is now in the loving arms of Jesus. Sliver Patriot, a 10 year poster on GLP, passed away last monday, July 29th, from cancer. She had been diagnosed in April. When they attempted surgery in April, it was everywhere in her abdomen, so they started heavy duty chemo and radiation instead, to try to knock it down. It never worked, and she steadily went downhill.

Silver Patriot, my friend Sandy on and off this board, fought with all she had, and was bolstered by the many prayers of posters on this board. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your kindness, for your thoughts, and your prayers for my friend Sandy. While Sandy was still conscious, she told me she wanted me to tell you all "THANK YOU" for your prayers.

Sandy was a Patriot,having served in the Air Force, as did her husband. Sandy was also a Prepper, very wise to the possibilities of "anything can happen". Sandy was a strong person, but very kind hearted to all in need. She was such a good, and supportive friend to me, talking me through a lot of the strife I have had at home over the years. All I had to do was call or send an email, and she had my back, no matter what was going on here with me.

I was privileged to spend her last few days on this earth with her, praying with her and for her, helping her with her medical and other needs, and giving her husband, her sole caregiver, a little break. Even though she went home from the hospital on hospice care at her home on July 25th, Hospice didn't show up until the afternoon of July 29th, a few hours before Sandy died.

I had to catch my 18 hour train ride back home to the Chicago area, a couple of hours before Sandy passed away. She died as I was en-route home.

Sandy's legacy, IMO, is to fight for what is right, never give up, and keep the Faith.

Godspeed my friend ! What a difference you made in my life, my dear friend Sandy !!! RIP.

I wish I could just take the sadness away. I can't imagine losing someone so close like that.

Sorry to hear about your friends passing. RIP Sandy
