A Shocker!

Today I found out some really horrible news about a friend of mine, she passed away today from a heart attack and I learned about it on Facebook.  She was incredibly spunky, sassy, very patriotic, sweet, kind, considerate and the best damn Avon lady I have ever had the chance to meet.  You will be missed, Glynda. 

I have been in shock, I nearly had a panic attack and had to calm myself down.  I have talked to her cousin who is handling things on this end, I guess she is digging out insurance papers, and everything you need when someone you loves passes on.  I have no idea what is to become of her two little doggies.  I always advise my friends who lose loved ones to get as many copies of their death certificate as you can, you are going to need them.  Everyone needs a copy of it. 

I am trying to get her a DAR grave marker and that is another problem.  I keep reading about the 8 months it is going to take to get one ordered and to get it placed on her grave is another hassle but, we will persevere and get it done.  You see, my friend she was a go getter and one of the nicest people I have met besides my Mom.  Our chapter is going to be very sad for a while because she made a serious impact in our lives. 

She believed in getting it done and she did it with pride.  She even won an award for her volunteer genalogy work.  Oh yes, we loved Glynda very much for all that she did and all that she was. 

Rest in Peace my friend and I hope God will hold you in the palm of his hand.
