IBQLTN2 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 thank you all, your prayers are greatly appreciated. It is a comfort to know that petitions are being sent up to the Lord on her behalf and he too is waiting for a joyous reunion, It is a beautiful, yet a very hard thing for us left on this side of eternity.

GrandmaLKB Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Alzheimers took my Dad........it is such a horrid disease.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 i never realize how debiltating Alzheimers becomes and how very quickly it can go from one stage into another. my friend turned 69 in March and around November there was an escaltation of symptoms and just about a month ago, she became bedridden and now it has consumed here entirely. I know we all have to go at sometime and from something, but it doesnt seem to make it any easier. I am not sure if I think the fact that they are not aware of alot of what is happening is a blessing or not. thanks for your support Jeanne PS she has been my quilting buddy, roomate and I have lots of fond memories of our times together, so I will have lots of good thoughts of and about her when I think of her.

lisae Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I lost both my mother-in-law and father-in-law to Alzheimers. It is a horrible disease. I feel your pain, Jeanne. I am so happy you will have good thoughts of your friend and the good times you had together. God bless both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisquilter Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Jeanne, my heart is weeping for your loss of a wonderful friend. The older I get, the more I realize how temporary our life here on earth is. We need to treasure each day. It sounds like you have many treasured memories of your time with your friend. I hope you can find comfort in those memories. I am praying for a peaceful journey for her. Bless you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBQLTN2 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 my friend passed away on Saturday evening in her sleep and went very peacefully, although it is hard to say goodbye, it is a comfort to know that she is in a much better place and free from all the pain and suffering and has a clear mind as well. Praise the Lord for his mercies, My uncle passed the same way on Sunday Morning so we have a double reason to grieve but also a double reason for rejoicing that they are both with the Lord!!
