The brethren truly did love her just as much as she loved them. It is a sweet thing when those that we love pass from this life and they have a crown waiting for them.

And the baby being born the day after she died, I thought that was neat. Today is indeed Heidis birthday, she is sooooooo cute, calls her present her "happy to me". I'm glad that you are doing aerobics, I'm kind of on hold until James can function on his own. Amazing how awful back problems can be, totally debilitating. By the way, YOU look great, I love THE BLOUSE.<BR/>GalemeNmykidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881428936975508833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-66031183303104941852007-04-11T20:01:00.000-07:002007-04-11T20:01:00.000-07:00Happy Birthday to you Trina.Happy Birthday to you Trina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-9170473934541203662007-04-11T19:46:00.000-07:002007-04-11T19:46:00.000-07:00Praying with you Trina.Cancer...It has taken it's ...Praying with you Trina.<BR/>Cancer...It has taken it's ugly toll on the best of us.

The intensity of her eyes as she tried to convey how much she loved you was amazing. And you are like her best friend in many wonderful ways, which was our Aunt Lois. I will dearly miss Elaine, I wish I was close enough to drive over, but I realize this is not the Lords will. However, days like these are hard, because she was a mother to so many and to me included. She was our mom in so many ways. <BR/><BR/>On a Happy note.. Happy Birthday dear sister.

James is down in his back and in need of help with everything. I also have been touched by Sis. Elaine. She was and always will be one of my dearest friends. She loved me as openly as she loved you. We talked about you (her and I) and she told me how much she loved you too. You were right to be convinced, her love was so tangible. She always found the good things in people and dwelled on those, what an upbuilder. She took me as her family, I took her as mine. So many, many people have been touched by her life and death.<BR/>Happy Birthday, Cheris baby was born yesterday.
