Last Thursday as I was out for a walk with the dog, my older brother Dave called to tell me that our beloved sister, Wendy, had died. We learned her sudden death was caused by a massive cardiac event—inexplicable and unavoidable. I can’t even begin to express the loss I feel, as well as her two daughters and husband, and all the rest of our family.
Wendy was my best friend, my crackerjack assistant (she went with me on book trips), my holiday planner, my go-to person for sharing family news. So not ready to say goodbye to her, but I am also deeply grateful for the lifelong gift of having Wendy as my sister, and I so look forward to being together again in Heaven. There is such peace in that knowledge. “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19).
Suzanne, so deeply saddened on your sisters sudden passing. Love and prayers for you.
Truly there are no words to help you at this time in your life; however, the support and joy that Wendy gave you will always be in your mind. That along with prayers will help you. Prayers to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. Sister’s are very special people in our lives.
My heart goes out to you. Two years ago I lost someone in the exact same way. (my cousin who was closer to me than anyone; we grew up together). I pray you will find your sister in unexpected moments, dreams and messages. It helps. But so does just letting yourself grieve as hard and frequently as you need. 🙏❤️ Missing someone so deeply is the hardest pain. Blessings to you and all your family.
My deepest condolences, love and prayers to you and your family.
Suzzane I’m so sorry for your loss. Knowing you will be together again is a comforting feeling.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my sister 6 weeks ago and miss her so much. Like you I’ll see her in heaven. Will be including you in my prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I have two sisters and I’m going to call them both tonight! I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers!
On a happy note… I also had a new grandson born last week. Corbin Rex was born on 06/21 weighing in at 7 lbs and 11 oz. My first grandchild from my youngest son with really light blonde hair. Of course, he’s adorable – just like your’s. Congratulations!
So sorry to hear of your loss…. but the memories will live on. I have 2 older sisters… so, not looking forward to the days when they may be taken home ahead of me!
May his presence surround you and comfort you, all. c
Suzanne, praying Gods’ peace surround you & your family. My older brother died suddenly & unexpectedly too. It was the most traumatic event in our familys’ history. There’s still a huge hole in my heart 10 years later.
So sad to hear of your loss, but rejoice in the fact that your sister did not have to travel a long painful trail. God is with us and will watch over us. Prayers of healing for you and your family.
I love your books and wait patiently for each new publication.
My heartfelt condolences to you and your whole family. I am so, so very sorry. God Bless you. I will keep you in my prayers my friend. <3
May your sister rest in peace. Condolences.
