for Julie

Julie, my sister's friend that has breast cancer died today. She had gotten progressively worse from when I was able to see her a little over a month ago. Her body just couldn't take it anymore. I don't think her spirit could either. I will say that she was at peace, at home and surrounded by her loved ones. She finally let go when her son told her it was ok to go. It breaks my heart. I really don't know what else to say. I could tell you all how wonderful she was, that is a given. She was truly. She leaves behind her parents, her siblings, her children and her husband. She was 42.
The service will be sometime next week. I know it will be hard, but you can bet I will be there. For Julie.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Jenny. I'll be sure to say a prayer for the comfort and peace of her family and friends. :(

The part about her son telling her it was OK to go... made me cry.
