between the WWI and WWII one.

[angrydemocrat]

6. I'm So Sorry

[JohnKleeb]

8. Thank you

[JI7]

9. it's nice she has someone as young as you who knew her

and you could tell your kids,grandkids, etc about her.

a lot of times kids want to find out about their family history but have a hard time finding information , especially somene who knew them. but it's nice to live on through memories and stories passed down the family.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Ive been planning to incorporate her last name in to one of my kids

should I have kids. See she had all sisters except one brother and he was a priest so he didn't marry of course.

[Wickerman]

11. Sorry to hear it John

She was fortunate to have you as an offspring, she must have been quite a lady.

:hug:

[JohnKleeb]

12. grandmother not mother but thank you

[Wickerman]

13. understood

[lala_rawraw]

[JohnKleeb]

18. thanks

[bush_is_wacko]

16. Bless your Nana and your family... I'm so sorry for your great loss n/t

[JohnKleeb]

19. It is a tough loss and it feels so unreal without her

[whometense]

20. Kleeb, I'm so sorry.

But here's something to make you feel better. As long as she lives in your memory she's still alive. In a funny way I still feel like my grandparents and my mother are still with me. It's very comforting.

[JohnKleeb]

23. Thanks, yes youre right

[seito]

21. I am so sorry Kleeb

I wish that this type of pain was not a part of life. You are probably going to feel numb and strange for awhile. When my father passed away, I did not cry right away. It took some time, and then it just hit me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. :hug:

[JohnKleeb]

22. I am seeing that with my dad, hes not emotion now

[Blue_In_AK]

24. John, I'm sorry to hear this...

Maybe you can take some comfort in knowing that she is at peace and pain-free now. I've lost many dear ones over the course of my life, and it never gets any easier. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts.

[JohnKleeb]

25. Thats what we all discussed, and thanks

[TheDonkey]

26. I'm very sorry to hear

If you are an example then I'm sure she is proud of a wonderful legacy she has given to this world, through you and your family.

[JohnKleeb]

27. You know what also makes me happy

I have something to remind me of her right next to me. Its a photo album she made for me when I was a little kid. I have things that remind me of my godmother too.

[smbolisnch]

28. I am so sorry to hear that....

:hug:

[JohnKleeb]

29. Thanks

[babylonsister]

30. Dear JohnKleeb,

I'm very sorry for your loss, but am sure your nana will forever hold a special place in your heart to keep you warm. My condolences. :hug:

[JohnKleeb]

31. Thanks

[elshiva]

32. Sorry, Kleeb Don't be afraid to cry.

Kerry cried when his friend died in Nam. Dean cries whenever anyone asks him about Charlie, his dead brother. It's just too sad...
Blessings and prayers...

[WildEyedLiberal]

33. I didn't know Dean had a dead brother

:(

[elshiva]

34. Yes, unfortunately died in Laos during the Nam

http://www.crocuta.net/Dean/Charlie_Dean.htm

[JohnKleeb]

35. Ive heard about that

Sad story, I know about Kerry and Droz and Persh too.

[elshiva]

38. Who is Droz and Persh?

[WildEyedLiberal]

40. Don Droz and Richard Pershing

Droz was a fellow Swift Boat captain Kerry knew in Nam; he died two weeks after Kerry left country. "Persh" was Kerry's best childhood friend, who went to Yale with him - he died in Vietnam.

[JohnKleeb]

41. yes and I know he lost other friends over there

[elshiva]

44. Thanks, Pershing was the guy Kerry cried over

when he wrote to his parents, "what a terrible waste..."

[JohnKleeb]

36. It aint never hard to cry

Never been one of these guys who has been afraid to. I saw my grandfather cry when he spoke of the last time he saw his mother.

[TayTay]

45. Loss is the one thing that joins all human souls

Live long enough in this world and you will experience loss. As will everyone you meet. This is part of what gives the human condition it's poignancy. This is how we develop our higher more compassionate selves. We see in others the losses we ourselves have suffered. And can offer comfort.

[elshiva]

46. Blessings and let the healing tears flow

[LittleClarkie]

37. I'm so sorry John

Praying for you and your family.

[TayTay]

39. My condolences Kleeb

Your words make it plain that she was a remarkable lady who will be missed. May you find comfort in your warm memories of her.

[JohnKleeb]

43. she will be

[JohnKleeb]

42. thanks

[Withywindle]

47. I am so, so sorry.

:hug:

[JohnKleeb]

48. thank you

[saracat]

49. I am so sorry John. But I believe she will still be there watching over

you. My grandmother died when I was a child, but my mother swore she still picked out my clothes as she was want to do when alive! The unexpected item that would have been just her choice somehow would land in my mothers hand. Oddly ,it is almost the anniversary of my mothers passing and I often feel her presence as well. You are not alone. Be thankful you know such a wonderful woman and she will continue to guide you. My condolences to both you and your family.

[JohnKleeb]

50. Thanks and good night.

[Vektor]

51. Oh John,

I'm so sorry.

[JohnKleeb]

52. Thank you

[vinessa4freedom]

53. So Sorry, Kleeb

my thoughts are with you.:hug:
