Remembering Life

Sometimes sad news comes in waves...I've been riding many waves the past couple of months. This morning around 11am I received a phone call from my cousin Janene that my Great-Uncle Eddy passed the night before. It had been expected for awhile now, and last week they had hospice come in. A reminder all the same that life is short and sweet and you better drink it in while you can.

Around 130pm I received another call from Chrissy that our friend Jenny Guthrie had passed. This has us all in an utter state of shock. This is Jenny. Young, vibrant, 34. It's not normal. We are still waiting for the details of what happened. It was said she had been having headaches and she went into the hospital to get checked. They ran some tests and sent her home with Vicadin. She took some Vicadin, took a nap, and never woke up. She leaves behind a beautiful nine year old daughter, her mom, her dad, three sisters, a brother, a husband,a step-son, nieces and nephews - friends. She just celebrated her first anniversary.

Jenny Josephine Guthrie we will miss you.
