Dear Carolyn,

I am so sorry Carolyn. Your friendship with Alli was such an inspiration and it was obvious that you adored her and would have done anything in the world for her.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend passed away from cancer 8 years ago, so seeing this post from you made me burst into tears. It was way too familiar. I had always prayed for Alli's recovery, and I am really sorry that our prayers weren't enough. Please take care of yourself. I'll be thinking of you.
God bless you Alli.
You have been in my thoughts and prayers....

ReplyDeleteCarolyn
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. It is so cruel when beautiful souls like Ali leave too soon. You were a wonderful friend to her and she was blessed to have known you, as you and Tinker were blessed to have had so many magical memories with her.
I know she will be watching over you from

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." 1 Corinth 15:51-54
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I can't imagine the loss you must be feeling. What a tragedy. Praying for you and those who knew and loved her.

I just happened across your blog via another, and recognised you from TTC2007.
ReplyDeleteYou have always spoken of Alli with such love, and I cannot comprehend the pain you must be feeling.
My thoughts are with you, your Tinker, and Alli's family x
Oh no, I have been offline for a week, very sorry to hear the news. I hope your Tinker is bringing you some joy during this trying time.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I am really behind on my blog reading and only just read it now. She was way too young. I hope you are coping ok and my family wishes your family all the best.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry Caroline. I lost my best friend to breast cancer five years ago when she was 26. There really isn't anything anyone can say that makes it any easier, but you are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteMy heart really goes out to you right now. I know you will miss you best friend immensely.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss losing your best friend at such a young age is just so unfair. You are in my thoughts. Just hold on to the many wonderful memories that you shared togehter.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, may she rest in peace, bless her.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and hoping life is offering you lots of sweet little moments and memories right now. Tania x
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for your loss. Work From Home
ReplyDeleteCarolyn I'm so sorry. I am months behind and have only just read of Alli's passing.
ReplyDeleteShe was far too young for any of this to be fair. I think this verse is so beautifully apt for the friendship that you had with Alli, and the friendship you will continue to have throughout the years despite the fact that you are physically parted.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Sucks, sucks, SUCKS! My thoughts and prayers are with you this morning...XXOO
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Carolyn I only saw this now. May beautiful Alli rest in peace. M xo
ReplyDeleteI just randomly found your blog and am so sorry about the passing of your friend. You and her family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family have a happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog but thought that I might share this qoute I found a few weeks back. My mother in law is close to the 'end' due to cancer. Hope the quote helps you...
Once I dropped a tear in the ocean. When I find it is when I'll stop loving you."
---Unknown
So sorry for your loss, please take care of yourself and your wonderful family, and take courage that it was such a blessing having crossed paths and that such a wonderful friendship will last forever, in your hearts.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
