Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Kenya, I am so sorry to hear about this. What an awful story. The family, the community, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope they are able to find the reason, if that helps offer some sense of closure. > > Hi guys.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Kenya- I'll say a prayer for the family. I second what you said about loving the people in our families, and our friends.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Do you know if they did an autopsy to discover what was going on with her? This is very scary and I'm so sorry for the loss. Its just a warning to never ignore any single sign your body gives you... Doctor's don't know everything so listen to your body always. My thoughts are with you.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I am so very sorry to hear of this. My goodness. I will put the family on our prayer list at church. My husband worked with a gentleman about 2 years ago, and when I was reading the story it reminded me of the same thing that happened to this guys wife. Same thing with the rash, and everything. I do not think they ever really knew what happened. I am so sorry, and I will pray for the family as well. It reminds me to never take a day for granted, live every day with love in your heart for others and yourself..for without loving yourself you cannot love others, always say what is in your heart to the ones you love. Never hold back a hug or a kiss because you are in a hurry, and remember to never hold a grudge for that could be the last time you have a chance to make amends. Live each day as a gift, and do not take even a breath for granted, for each breath is a precious jewel. ~My condolences, <dorygcat@...> wrote: Do you know if they did an autopsy to discover what was going on with her?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi everyone, My son is now in Korea with the army and I found a great way to talk to him for free. I thought if any of you have loved ones over seas that you would like to talk to and even see them you can contact me. I have been with this group a long time and this is not a sales pitch. I promise. I use this service, called Oovoo, to stay in touch with my son in Korea and my almost son in Iraq. Just let me know and I will give you the info to download the program. Hope all of you have a great new year. the WV hillbilly LOVE IS IN ALL THINGS AND IN ALL THINGS IS LOVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
