no matter how long it's been or what's going on in your life, you always need to remember to let your friends and family know that your thinking of them with a card, a call and a hug. It can be too late sometimes and you won't get that second chance. Today I got that dreaded call. I thought the caller was a salesman and thought he said that he had some good news for me. what he said was he had some bad news. Then he paused and I said well speak... He said Minor died this week, I had to make him repeat it three times because I was confused at who he was and when I figured it out, I was more confused at why he would be telling me my best friend died. that can't happen, she is too young- just 41 He said she had been sick this past year and then when his son got the flu, she caught it from him and passed away from it. I was one of the few that called her Nancy, I hated to call her by her nick name Minor, I thought it was silly. She tried to get me to change it, I refused. Nancy was there for me when I became single, she found me a lawyer when mine gave me the run around. then when James was hit by a car, she and her husband to be- made sure I could go be with my son before he passed away. She opened a jewelry shop and made sure I had a flexible job that fit in with my weird custody arrangement. She brought me food when I was broke, a shoulder to cry on when James died a friend always there for me. I will miss her forever. Nancy, I love you, Lisa

I'm so sorry, Lisa. She was a good friend to you. No one deserves that. How awful. :(
Thanks Laurie, she will be missed so much. I keep thinking about her all day and crying. I just don't understand it. who would think the flu could knock you down like that. I miss her already.
I am very sorry, too, Lisa. At first I didn't know who you meant, but now I know, and I can see that she was a good friend to you. We are so sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss.
