Death of Family Member & our Friend

My daughter-in-law`s mother passed away.It`s been hard to think of what I want to say.For now,I`ll just say she called me her best friend as I am the one who takes her places ,to her doctors appt.,& things.I just dropped everything a month ago & ran her to the er as she was doubled over in pain.She was admitted that day.She got better & I took her to 2 follow-up appts.plus a colonoscopy.She had to have the test done over & it was to be tomorrow again I was to take her.She was found dead in her bathtub on Sat.She had been dead a few days.It was 93 in her house.She was keeping her youngest daughter`s dog while she was on vacation,so the dog was in the home with her when she passed.The daughter came home to find her that way.
Her husband died 3 years ago,& they were keeping the dog then when he died in his sleep.The dog was at his feet when he was found.Isn`t that strange,they both died at home & the dog,Bella,was there.Poor dog,she is a husky mix.
My friend is a Christian,so I know she is in no more pain & is in her husband`s arms now.I have other things to write,but just not now.I took her picture with our neighbor`s great great granddaughter the day I blogged about the wild bunnies she rescued,Nancy was in the picture I took with the little 10 year old.I didn`t post Nancy,but I am today in rememberance.They should find out what caused her death today.The 3 daughters used the picture I took of her on the 14th,,minus the bunnies, to place in our newspaper.I don`t even know why I was moved to take a picture that day,but her family was grateful I did,She had scolosis,her right ribs were resting on her right hip bone,that`s how bad it was.The Lord only knows what that must have done to her organs inside.Nancy was only 61.It`s hard to believe she was here 1 day,then gone the next.

Sorry to hear about your sudden loss. I know it can be so painful,even though you know she is certainly in a better place. It still makes it hard for those left behind to cope without that soul in your life.
Take care,
Tammy

Thank-you everyone.
The service was beautiful.She couldn`t afford it,thankfully a relative paid for everything.I certainly got an eye openning jolt when I found out how much a certain church charges for things.I thought if you were a member,you would have the service for nothing.I was going to blog everything,but I won`t.I`m so glad I belong to a church who considers the needs of its members,we are so blessed, that`s all I`m blogging,phyllis
