Good Morning,
Its Friday Morning, June 26, 08....
I am so sorry I have not been on in a long long time, Because
my precious husband, Walt died, (2 days will be a year)... my
heart broke into pieces it has been hard to mind... He for 23 years
took care of me, was by my side, encouraged me, loved me, helped me, and watched over me, always listened, when I could not find my way when I was hurting so bad, I didnt think I was gonna make it, he would help me in every way he could to make me feel better,
Last year when he died, my HEART BROKE INTO PIECES. I have NEVER felt as alone as I did then and thru out this past year, Its been a Very hard struggle, I know some of you have written me sweet letters, cards, notes, etc, for which I am deeply greatful, w/othem I would not have made it... some of you did not understand, which I truly understand.. but, know, I LOVE YOU very much....
I am continuing on my recovery, in 2 days it will be a year, pls pray for me...i love you very much... and, I am praying for you everyday
i fell on my concrete porch a week ago and sustained a VERY BAD concussion and a hemotoma over my (R) eye.. I am having to go
back to the dr.b/c I cannot walk.. today the pain in my back is unbearable... May God bless you so!!! all my love, PENNI

Sweet Penni from Heaven,
You've been missed but not forgotten. Prayers are continuously being lifted up for you here and at other sites. I know how hard it is to go through the grief process, having lost my precious brother so suddenly and so young. I can only imagine the grief magnified with the loss of your soul mate. We all have times when we just need to be alone with God and share our sorrow with Him. He comes in proper time and heals the wound in your heart ... but it is a process. There are memories, sweet times, words spoken, songs, places, different remembrances that trigger the sorrow all over again, as when you first lost him. It's a long process to get over losing someone you loved so much, some people never do. But you did a wonderful thing to begin this website to reach out to others and form a community of support for yourself. I know I speak for all who have been here; This has truly been a place of blessing. The prayers I received here brought my life out of obscurity into the light of Gods blessing and restoration. You've ministered to broken people from your broken heart. For that I thank you and I sure many others feel the same way. I'm sure Walt is smiling over the banister of Heaven and Jesus is saying "Well Done." Take the time you need ... I'm here if you need me.
With Love and Understanding,
Rainbow Donna
