I really wasn’t sure if I should blog tonight, but blogging is what I do and I need to try to keep some sense of normalcy right now.
Today I lost my sister Penny and I type this I still can’t believe it.

My mind is swimming with memories of her with her kids, us as kids, the last things we talked about and how much she loved Miles. We are just numb with grief and disbelief.
Please pray for my family.
Betsy,
You and your family are in my prayers. Please let me know if Patrick and I can doing anything, anything at all.
Betsy, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I don’t know what to say, there are no words.
Betsy, You are all in our prayers. Please let me know if I can help with Miles – you know I would love to. I am sooo sorry. Love,Cristi
Betsy- I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. My heart is aching for you and your family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Again, I am so, so sorry.

As a sister to 4, I cannot imagine your hurt nor can I imagine being able to wrap my brain around that kind of loss. Just to deep to fathom…my heart hurts for you. You are in my prayers. May God give you a peace that passes all understanding and a comfort like no other.
Hi Betsy~ I found your beautiful blog through the Matilda Jane blog. You don’t know me, but after reading your incredibly sad news today, it felt rude to leave your blog without leaving a comment…I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will pray that you & your family are filled with comfort & peace, and with joy in the memories of your dear sister. I’m sorry again.
Ya know, I am a devoted blog reader of Betsy’s and I am also her and Penny’s sister-in-law (since 1999). I leave many comments to let Bets know that I’m reading, but nothing replaces the times where we all are together and visiting and laughing. We all read Betsy’s words and we learn a lot from them. So, I guess what I am doing is using Betsy’s blog as an avenue to tell everyone who reads this to go visit your loved ones and tell them you love them. Tell them how they have impacted your life and how wonderful they are. The last time I spoke to Penny was on December 31st, 2007, she called me because she wanted my meatball recipe. And you know what…she still made the time to tell me that she loved me before I hung up the phone that day. She was very very full of love and kindness. Thank you Betsy, for blogging about your sister, although it was difficult. Betsy, Thanks for being you. You are so amazing and I love you. I’ll help you in anyway that you need; but you already know that. Love and Prayers, Jennie
Betsy, my heart aches at the amount of loss you have dealt with in such a short period of time. It just doesn’t seem fair. I am impressed at how you’re talking/blogging about it to get some of these feelings out. I encourage you to continue to look at Miles for the joy and innocence that life brings. Yes, we will always know difficult days, but we will always know wonderful ones as well. Praying for you! Love, Liz, Nick & Stella
Betsy, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God give you the strength you need during this difficult time. Hold tight to your family, husband, son, and friends who love you so.
Betsy…you are in our thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. May you find all of the comfort and peace you need at this time.
