Yesterday I got a call from my dad that my sister passed
 

We were close, but she lived near Seattle on Vashon Island so I didn't get to see her much. I admit, I took for granted that she'd be around for a long time and hadn't spoke to her for a couple of weeks maybe a month.. I'm OK and staying strong for what my father is going through......


Today I learned that my best and life long friend may only have a year to live. I'm not bringing this up for sympathy !! I posted this to remind us to take a minute and hug, call or go see a loved one or friend... They maybe gone before you know it (knock on wood)

RIP Maryanna 1953-2013

Get well ASAP Paul

Sorry to hear of your loss. Will keep your family and your friend in our thoughts and prayers. Joe

Sincere condolences Jerry.

We can't be reminded enough of your message. :thumbsup:

So sorry for you and your family Dog. Hoping for the best for your friend as well during this tough time. Call anytime Bro...

Sorry for your loss.
Keep staying strong for the rest of your family.

Sorry. Life is fragile. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

Man Jerry, I'm so sorry to hear that. Remember the good times and cherish every day.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

One of my favorite clients was supposed to meet me out at SEMA to walk the show and for dinner as we did every year we both made it out for the show. I spoke to him about 3 weeks before and we were making arrangements. Less than a week later I get a phone call from his number late at night which was very unusual for him. It was one of his family members calling to tell me he had passed away. He was in his early 60's and had laid down for an afternoon nap and never woke up.

That one has really gotten me thinking over the last few months. Although he wasn't the bastion of healthy living there was no indication that had anyone concerned. It was a shock to everyone in his life.

Anytime any place. Live Life with Fearless Faith.

Jerry, truly sorry to hear of your loss. Family is everything.

damn, sorry for ya man..

Thanks guys

So sorry for your loss. Life is fragile and you are right that we need to take some time and appreciate all we truly have.

I'm sorry for your loss man. I dread the day when I'm faced with it.

Wow Jerry! Sorry to hear that!


I was born in 1953... and I feel pretty darn YOUNG despite my constant joking about how old I am... So your sister was just way too young!


At least you should know she lived in a beautiful place - Vashon Island is a super cool little island. My guess is she had a really nice life there.

Jerry,

My condolences to you and your Dad on Maryanna's passing...

Death is a challenge.
It tells us not to waste time...it tells us to
tell each other right now that we love each other.

So Sorry for your loss.

Thank you for reminding us about how fragile life is... I should know this but sometimes I let my guard down.
