I want to thank all of you dear readers and friends for the kind and thoughtful comments you left on my last post where I shared with you the loss of my dear sister Roberta. Your love and care brought me great solace.
Below is a painting that Roberta asked me to paint for her from a photo she took of 5 of our Sunfish at Waldo Lake.
Dear Dayle gave me this beautiful bouquet of roses this week to cheer me up, very sweet.
We attended my nephew Joel's funeral on Friday in Selah, WA. 3 and a half hours drive away. It was a beautiful service. I drove there and back, Dayle, my sister Denise and her husband Steve rode with me. I have written my sister's obituary and The Oregonian published in the Sunday newspaper. I also designed the funeral notice and the funeral program. I'm speaking too, along with my brother, Robert - Roberta's twin. The service is on Saturday. Thank you again for your kindness and support. ((hugs)), Teresa
Thinking about you.What arotten time you are having.Stay strong.Barbarax

The obituary you wrote for Roberta was very well done. We will be here when you feel like blogging. I'm also only a phone call or text away if you need to talk. I am thinking of you my friend.

ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you since your previous post and was wondering how you’re doing. I can tell from your blog how close you were to your beloved sister, you were lucky to have had each other. I’m sure at times it must feel unbearable. You have such a loving family which must be such a comfort to you. Praying for you all at this sad time. X

ReplyDeleteWhile camping at Cape Lookout last week the internet was spotty and I missed this post and just got back at 7:30 last night. I am sorry for your family’s loss of Joel, too. To me mourning is so difficult, but it helps to share it with loving family and friends as you are...and seeing Dayle’s gift of beautiful roses to you encouraged me, too. Thanks for posting, Teresa. I enjoyed seeing your painting again as well. Thanks for sharing. ((HUGS))
