I as sitting here waiting for all that my dear friend at the nursing home as passed.
She went on hospice and the time is coming fast.
I did visit her today but she was sleeping.
Her family is there now.
I will miss her.
I am glad she know nothing of government shut down.
It is hard making friends in a nursing home, but worth it.
She was a vet in WW2.
Her family didn't want her to go in but there were no boys in her family.
She felt like she had to go.
She landed in Europe in 1944, a month after D day.
She told me only a few women were there at that time.
She knew German so she was needed to speak to German POW's.
My friend had so many stories to tell of her days in the Army.
I am glad she does't know about what is going on in Washington.
I miss her already.
Her name was Sally Joe, named after a uncle killed in WWI.
Sally Joe was life long democrat, voted for FDR as her first vote.
Have a good journey Sally Joe.
Thank you for being my friend.

Sounds to me as though she was a really cool woman...
She knows you love her, and she will always be part of you...
Wishing Sally Joe a peaceful passage, and joyous reunions when she crosses the Rainbow bridge.
she'll remember you as you remember her.
you'll see her again. she'll probably be there to greet you.
i'm sorry the two of you are parting for now.
Glad she was your friend texanwitch.
nurse in Korea and Viet Nam. As you mentioned, she had some wonderful stories.
May Sally Joe go in peace and you be comforted that she had a life well-lived.
I was greatly helped in recent grievings by Elizabeth Kubler Roth's last book "On Grief and Grieving"
Grief is a biological process, as uncontrollable as puberty. Be good to yourself.
