So Sad

This is the hardest entry I have had to make. Our wonderful girl started bleeding from her intestines Friday night. She was hospitalized and the bleeding point was tied off, but she had another bleed and a cardiac arrest. She was resuscitated but the bleeding continued and could not be stopped in spite of the massive blood transfusions, etc. Sally passed away at noon today 5/2/10. Some time later we will have a memorial/celebration service and I will try and remember to post that so anyone who wishes can come. To the end she was hopeful and cheerful--her life was a remarkable example of Abraham Lincoln's quote "With malice toward none, with charity for all". We all miss her terribly. We had a great 49 years together!

  1. Dear Alan, Lor, Craig and Familes....it is with great sadness that I read this news. Sally's presence brought a smile to those around her. Her generous heart and soul will live on in all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

    "If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you." Winnie the Pooh (and Sally too).

    Our heartfelt condolences to your and yours. Love Joan, Pete, Blake and Logan
