I have more sad sad news to share and I haven't the words to describe my grief at this very moment. My very close Aunt died yesterday evening of terminal cancer, she was only diagnosed 5 weeks ago and is now gone, she lived in the west coast of Ireland and I got to speak to her over the phone as her daughter held the phone to her ear to tell her I loved her, this was just the night before, and my mum was with her when she passed away in her own home in a hospital bed. I travel on saturday to her funeral and she was a very popular lady and well loved.
I also encouraged her to take up card making and rubber stamping, so the two of us over the last 8 years spent time going around the craft shops and getting so excited at any new rubber stamps we would have bought.
In 10 months I have lost my grandfather, my father and now my dear aunt, I loved these people so much.
Take care xx

Oh Marlou...my heart is breaking for you. I am thinking of, and praying for you and the family. Hugs!
Oh Marlou...I'm so, so sorry. I'm sure it meant a lot to her to speak to you before the end. All I can really say is take time to grieve, take comfort in the friends around you and remember all the good times you've had with them all. Big love and cuddles xxx

Oh my goodness Marlou, I am so sorry. I imagine nothing I can say will help but here's a big big hug to you and your family at this sad time. you are in my thoughts my friend.
Oh ♥Marlou♥, my heart goes out to you...hang in there!!!
O marlou, there are no words that will make you feel better. I am thinking of you and your family at this time though and my prayers will be with all of you. Isn't it strange how life can be sometimes? Six years ago I lost both my parents as well as both my parents in law within eighteen months. I remember so well how it felt then, but I can assure you that you will get through this eventually. Big hugs to you.
Marlou, I am so sorry for your loss dear! I'm at a loss for words but know that I care. My heart goes out to you and your family.
God Bless!

Dear Marlou, I'm so sorry you have had yet another loss and I so wish I had words that would comfort you. Reading your post I can feel your pain, I'm so sorry your having to go through this hun, take comfort in those lovely memories and the fact that you were able to tell your aunt how much you loved her before she passed. Take care, big hugs, Donna x
Marlou, I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I understand how you feel as I lost my grandmother, uncle and my dad within 15mths. It was all on my dad's side and there is no one left from that side of the family now.
I hope you can find some comfort in your faith to heal your heart. Give yourself time to grieve and lean on those around you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Life has a way of arranging things for reasons we have yet to know. It does sound like she was a true pal and so much fun to go stamping all over with you.
I think I would just be happy that I had someone to share my hobbies with and other doors do open up for us, we just don't know when.
My prayers and sympathy to you at this time.
