My big sister Gloria passed away this morning at around 5:00 AM. I flew out to Toronto a few days ago to see her and to be with her. She was 90, had lived a good life and passed peacefully. She leaves five children.
I had some "alone" time with her the night before last and although she was in a deep sleep I bored her with talk of the old days in Edmonton and about our family.
Here are Gloria and I at Wasaga Beach during my last visit in 2011.
She shared every memory and moment with you and rejoiced. Hugs for you and her family.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it in time to see her. A good age and a long life. You really are a baby brother! Condolences.
ReplyDeleteOnce again our deepest Condolences.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had the chance to say good bye.
You've been hit hard the past couple of months. Our thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, I remember you visiting here at Wasaga Beach, making wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart Croft, I'm sorry to hear this. Hearing is the last to go, so I'm sure she heard every word you said. How lovely for both of you that you could be with her at this time.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you were there with your sister..........90 and a good life! What more could any of us ask for? Hang in there my friend. I'm so sorry you have had all of this all at once.
ReplyDeletewe can all hope to live 90 good years...
ReplyDeleteCondolences from Betty and I. Glad you got the time to spend with her.
ReplyDeleteIf my memory serves me right, I do believe you did a blog on your visit with your sister in 2011. Barbara is so right, my Father's doctor said the same thing; no doubt, Gloria heard you you speaking to her and hung on every word from her little brother. Lots of hugs, and you will get through all of this. Sending condolences to you and her children. Five children, what a large living legacy she left in this world.
