Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I apologize up front  to  the board, the administration, Jarmo, and the members  of HTGTH if this is inappropriate. Delete it  if  you wish or find  it necessary. I just wanted  to pay tribute  to my younger sister  who  died  this  week from complications  due to  diabetes and cancer. We had the funeral/memorial service  today. I am not looking for sympathy, I just need a place  to vent. This is  my outlet,  for better or worse.

She was an extraordinary person. In the eulogy, her  husband  characterized her as a giver and an optimist. She was one  of those  rare  people whose only  goal  in her life  was  to help others. She did  not know the word  no. Not  a selfish bone in her body. No  one who ever  met her disliked her. She had an infectious  personality, and laughter  was  a  constant.

She was  a whirlwind of energy. She crammed 150 years  of life  into  her  short time on this  planet. The world is worse  off  without her.

I miss her so much. And I will never see  her again. Ever.

For those  on this board  who sweat  the small stuff--updates  or the lack thereof, when will CD be out, did Axl do this or not, VR vs GNR, Axl vs  Slash, etc etc--all I can say is lose  a loved one, a brother, sister, mom, dad, spouse, whomever,  and you will realize  how utterly and  completely  unimportant it all is.

Again, I apologize if this is inappropriate. I am sure that I am not the only one one  to have  lost  someone close.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I feel the tears in my eyes for you and your family...my deepest condolences KK....take comfort from the words these people will give you here :-*

why would we delete this?

im very sorry for your loss

Hate to hear this KK.

No words can take your pain away but from the sound of it she lived a good life brought much happiness and joy to others and was a great example for everyone in your family.

I know words don't mean a whole lot but she isn't suffering or feeling anymore pain and regardless of religious beliefs I honestly believe Death is the beginning not the end and in time u all will be reunited forever.

Take her example and carry on with it yourself.

You could not be more right.

Don't worry about the trivial stuff in life.

God bless.

We're all here for you Krispy Kreme.  It's good to reach out.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I hope you'll heal with time.

Take care and God bless.

Now I see what you mean by this being a rough week.   :(

Your description of her makes me wish I could have known her.  Keep your chin up, and live your life like she lived hers.

I hope you and yours can find some peace at a time like this.     

Very sad to hear this KK, it does deeply sadden me   :'(

It sounds like she was relatively young when she passed.

That's so sad to hear Krispy. 

But also wonderful to hear such nice things about a person.  I hope all her loved ones can find the strength to get through this, and to honor her memory by trying to be the best they can be.

My heart goes out to you Krispy.

I have to try to get some sleep, have not slept much in the last ?week, but I want to thank everyone, sincerely, ?who has ?posted ?words ?of condolensences; and especially the many who have sent a PM--I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This ?is a place ?where ?there is often a lot ?of mindless ?and pointless ?arguments, a lot of ?name calling, insults, and vented ?anger. Tonight, I want to say that ?this ?board is also a place where ?people ?have compassion and are not afraid ?to express their care. I thank you all for your humanity.

Really sorry to hear about your loss.  The most important thing to do now is to try and keep the memory of your sister alive.  Its important to keep our loved ones close even though they may be gone.

My deapest sympothy goes out to you and your family, loosing a loved one makes you realise how much you want to cherish the time you have with each and every person in your life.. just know that she is watching you, and when you cry she cries with you, when you laugh she laughs with you... she will always be there for you mate, speak to her and she will be listening... the spirit never dies

xoxoxo take care and if you need to talk, im always here
I too have just lost a loved one on christmas day 06...

I'm sorry for your loss. ?My condolences to you and your family.

Amen KK. You deserve nothing but the best man, and it's true.. some people just need to re-evaluate their perspectives.

I wish you happiness. Enjoy life because when you think about it, in 70 years most of the people on this forum (and the band the forum is dedicated to) will be dead.

Very sorry to hear about this. My condolences to you and your family.

my condolences.

Wow so sorry to hear about that KK, and it really touched my heart, at a time when I ve lost so much in my life , lovers , people friends, over the yrs, I only have one sister, so to me, all the other losses compare to nothing, if I lost her. So just want to tell you that was a really beautiful eulogy to her, and my heart feels heavy for your loss.  And you are so right all the BS as far as people complaining about when GNR is gonna do this or that, and blah blah blah, really doesn't mean a damn thing.  And for anyone who only concerns themselves with that I pity.


All I can say is all my heart to you, and someone posted that spirits don't die, I believe that. IM sure shes at your side when you least expect, and a whisper to your ear throughout life on decisions you make, and will always be a heartbeat that pulses in rhythm in good times and bad.

MY condolences.

Man, take care.

This is really sad. My thoughts are for you and your/her family.

I'm sorry for your loss.

am so sorry to hear of this.  Its good that you are able to release your feelings here also - thank you for feeling able to share it with us.

she will always be a large part of your heart, hang in there. peace, friend

xx

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Your sister's life lives on in every person that she touched. 

Yeah, real life sure does put things into perspective.  You've got our support KrispyKreme. 

Everybody should really appreciate each day we've got on this planet.  Make the most of it.  Make somebody smile. 

Very sorry for your loss.  Sounds like she was a wonderful human being. 

All the best in getting through this difficult time.

Be Strong, Man.
My Condolances to you.

No matter what your religous faith may be - I want you to try to picture that your sister is someplace better, happy, surrounded by her favorite things on Earth, and chuckling everytime you do something that you know she would giggle at or something like that - Hope is a good thing my friend

Im really sorry for your loss Krispy Kreme.

I hope you feel better soon.

so sorry condolances to you and your family

Wow, man, I've never lost a brother or sister, but I have lost grandparents, even though they aren't as closely related. Saying that, it must be even harder to lose a sibling since they're so close to you, but I hope you'll find a way to get on.

damn dude, this is really shitty to hear :'(

my condolences to you and your family in this time of woe

KK i am ever so sorry. Nothing i can say will make it better. I lost my dad 4 years ago on the next 1st of april. It eases, but doesn't pass, his place is his forever and ...well..fuck this, you understand..

I hope your sister hasn't suffered martyr with cancer.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
