I wish this group would have been around when I lost my two precious children. Even though Jenny died in 1989 and her twin brother John in 1994 , sometimes I still feel the pain when I think about the tragedies that took them both from me. This is a beautiful website and I felt peaceful just looking thru it. Thank you.
After 35 years of marrige, I lost my wife some 4 years ago to cancer. I entered a support group through Hospice that only lasted 6 meetings. I was invited several months later to the YANA Group in Flora and it gave me so much more then 6 weeks of discussions. YANA has no time limit. You can attend as long as you want to attend. This group has giving me so much support during this time in my life which I will always be greatful.
kimmie i think of you everyday..even no i cry knowing the world will never get to hear your laugh or see your smile or the kindness you have for everyone....so big sister.. remember I LOVE YOU! AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
I cannot for one moment imagine what you (aunt Dirt & uncle Gary) are going thru. Not for one moment. I never in my life thought that I would have to say goodbye to Kimmie so soon. It just doesn't seem heavenly possible that I won't ever again feel the heart felt warmth of her hug or hear her voice. I know God has said that he would never give us more than we can handle, but sometimes in life it just doesn't seem to make much since. But I want you to know that no matter what, I will always be there to catch you if you fall. To be there when you feel all alone. Or just listen when you need to remember. Because losing Kimmie is like losing a sister to me. And above all, family is the support to hold us together. And lastly, know that I love you very much.
The Lord promised never to put burdens upon that we could not bear. Gary, Bert I cannot imagine what you are going thru, but trust in the Lord and his promise. And if you need me, you know where I am.
Missing Kimmie is something I never thought I would have to do. She was a "one of a kind" type of person. I also thought I'd never miss her early morning greeting of "Hey, old woman" as we would both leave our houses for work. I am also now jealous of Kimmie - she's already where I'll be when my life is over - she's probably laughing because she beat me. Love and miss her a bunch!! - Aunt Kris
