Thank you. I am feeling a little out of control. I know that I can't go to the funeral, and I have been so preoccupied with her children and grandchildren. I sort of forgot that I am the sister and it is starting to hit me.But, I am just so glad that I have worked so hard on our relationship the past three years. You know in life people hold grudges and sometimes neither side makes a move. I lost my Mom and, of course, I was the one that was made to be a bad person. I lived with hatred and knew that I needed to be making the first steps or else no one else would. I am happy that I have done that, and I know that I don't have any guilt about something that I should have said or did. It took me to forgive her for some horrible things that she said, but it was well worth it. I do hope that I can continue contact with her husband and kids.as they are my family too.

What wonderful childhood memories you must have. Yes she is walking the streets with Jesus Our Lord. May my prayer for your Peace be heard and honored. My mom died from the same thing and she lingered only three months. What a brave battle your sister fought.

I was in contact with my oldest nephew on Sunday and then maybe around 8 pm tonight. Not much later than that, my nephew's wife called to let me know that Barbara had passed away. I am sad, but I also know that my sister has gone to a much better place and is now with our Lord Jesus Christ. I am a bit serene about the news as I have the faith that lets me know that she is no longer suffering and she is reaping the rewards of living her life with God at the center. I am asking for prayers for the family.she leaves her husband of 38 years, her three children and five grandchildren. She also leaves me and my two brothers and one sister. Thank you all for the prayers for the survivors.she is loved and will be missed. Joan
