As you can imagine, there is much grief. I will be returning to my childhood town of Colorado Springs tomorrow to meet with my sister, Jennifer, who will be flying in from Missouri. Together we will do our best to handle all necessary arrangements. We would greatly appreciate your prayers and good thoughts.I will be away until late next week and look very forward to returning to my family and my dear friends in blogland. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my next post scheduled for Friday, a great giveway, that will run while I am away.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself here.
I can't even begin to imagine what it would feel like to lose a sibling. I have just one sister, and she of all others, knows me best. Maybe our siblings know us inside and out, because we share the common experience of childhood, trying to understand our parents and all of their character quirks.... I just know that you, your sister and the rest of your family are all heartsick, and I am so sorry. Please know that you are being thought of.
