My beautiful sister, Lisa

[CJR]

I love these pictures, I love how all of you dressed similar as youngins! Lisa is beautiful, and she was to the end, and she always will be. Thank you for posting them, they are wonderful.

Goodness knows I haven't cried enough today, yeah?

*hugs*

What a wonderful photo montage! It inspires me to be closer with my sisters, even though they are all in california...

As an older sister of six brothers thank you for sharing all your pictures. Lisa was beautiful and I know right now that you must be missing her so I hope am so happy to be able to share the good memories with you. Please snuggle Lisa the chinchilla for me too.

Feeling all choked up here now. That was beautiful.

This is what people need to know about cancer. Behind the awful C word there is a real person with real family that love and adore him/her and are heartbroken when it leads to death. Now, more than ever, there are more survivors but it still isn't enough.... Especially for those whose loved one has lost the battle.

Did that make sense? still all choked up

Watching Captain Phil die last night in the Deadliest Catch brought back horrible memories of my mom dying from cancer 4 years ago. Feels just like yesterday.

Those pictures are wonderful!! Matching clothes and all...I like the one of you guys and your mom laying on the kitchen floor. It's important to remember the times that made you crack up laughing. They'll make you crack up again if they haven't already.

My aunt Norma died of melanoma years ago (skin & lung cancer run in my mom's family---this is why I am a very pale non-smoker!!). She went through chemo and all that fun stuff, and I remember half her face was kind of paralyzed...not sure exactly why I just knew she was sick so I didn't care what she looked like. Anyways--the one vivid memory I have of her when I was a kid was this conversation we had when I was sleeping over my Nana's house. In bed, we started talking about poo. Yes, poo. I have no idea of any specifics but tears were streaming down my face (and hers) with laughter and I swear I almost peed myself. I think that was the hardest I ever laughed in my life and I'll never forget it. So cherish and laugh at your memories of poo conversations or whatever it was that makes you giggle when you think of it now.

Lots and lots of hugs, Laurie. I know tomorrow is going to be extremely difficult for you, even more so than the rest of the year has been. You always have us

Laurie, what a lovely, loving tribute to a special sister. :flowers4:

It makes me appreciate the fact that I still have my sisters, and when we squabble, I try to remember that, like mother said, "You 3 girls are all you have. Be good to each other".

I'll say a special prayer for you and Lisa on this difficult anniversary.

Laurie,

Thank you for sharing a bit of you and your sister's life with us. It made me realize just how short life can be and to cherish each and every day you have with the ones you love.
You will be in my heart and in my prayers tomorrow on this most heartbreaking of days.

Your sister was, is and always will be beautiful! My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Laurie, I started looking at these at work and got all teary eyed so I had to finish when I got home. I truly enjoyed looking at your pictures and I hope to see more sometime. Lisa is beautiful! As always, I will keep you in my prayers, especially through this time.

Laurie; I looked at these pictures over and over. i have two sisters in Japan who are not close to me at all any more. We are only one year apart from one another, and when we were kids, the people used to mistake us as triplets. I don't know why, but one of my sisters wouldn't see me, and it has been more than 10 years. I tend to look for a new sisterhood in female friends, and the people think that I don't have real sisters and that's why I like to have sister-like figures. It's not true. I wish I had a relationship with my sisters like yours. There is nothing more beautiful than a family and siblings' tight bond. The pictures are beautiful. I really enjoyed looking at them.

Laur,
ive been thinking of you all week. sometimes i wish i could reach through the computer screen and give you a hug. when i woke up, i realized what day it was.
i cant say enough words to express what i want you to know, but just know that you have all of us, and that Lisa will always be with you.
love you so so much.

 

[Chinmama]

Thanks for sharing the pictures Laurie. You and your sisters are beautiful.

I loved looking at those pictures. What a wonderful family. I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures and I'm so glad you shared them. My thoughts are with you, Laurie. I hope your family gets together today to support each other.
