He lived and died with dignity, courage and great faith. An inspiration indeed.Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061838276997211115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-20152510723472006012016-02-03T08:18:22.284+00:002016-02-03T08:18:22.284+00:00I don't think any of us know how we would be i...I don't think any of us know how we would be in this situation. When you meet somebody like this I think it makes it a lot easier for those around you. My Dad knew he was dying and for quite a while didn't accept which made it a lot harder for us. I'm not sure if it's better to know and be able to say goodbye but be living in a time bomb or to just go. Bless this lady x I hope this lady's passing is as serene and calm as she seems to be.

Maybe it will be today?"<br />There again, we have friends whose 21 year old daughter was terminally ill with a brain tumour, and they all three handled it with such grace, long-suffering, and dignity, they inspired us all. And then out of a blue (or I suppose dark) sky - God healed her!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320930325249337062noreply@blogger.com
