We were to celebrate Thanksgiving with Lynden and Sabra in Lakeland this year. They had just come back to Florida for the winter. Sabra experienced heart pains on Monday so she went to the hospital. She had had another heart attack ( she had a massive one two years ago). They repaired some shunts and she was released at noon on Wednesday. She still was complaining of chest pain but they said it was from the muscles when they fixed the shunts. She went home and rested. At five Lynden went to see what she wanted for dinner, she sat up, said she was in pain and fell back. He did CPR but could not revive her. Her daughter and grandson flew in from Arkansas and Lynden's children and two grandchildren drove down from PA. She was to be cremated, so on Friday we all went to the funeral home to view her body and Larry and I did a short service. Lynden is struggling, they had been married almost 10 years and did everything together. He went back to PA to be near family and friends for a while. In March he plans to have a celebration of life/anniversary gathering in PA.
On December 16 Georgine, Larry's sister passed away. This is the first of the five siblings to die. She had been in a horse accident as a teenager. She was in a serious car accident years later having to wear a full body cast for awhile. She was always in a lot of pain, but she was her own doctor and didn't follow doctor's orders. She was proceeded in death by her two daughters. She did get to see her grandson, that she raised, married this year. There was no services held for her as she did not want anything viewing or funeral.
