    Many of you may remember me talking about Kitty, my close friend . I am still in shock my quilting buddy and friend who lived next door had a heart attack and died the day before yesterday. She was coming back from a quilting event with her guild and just when they got back to thier cars she had the heart attack.

    I am so very sad. She was in her early sixties. There is no words to describe the feeling... What a dear wonman she was. I got so much inspiration from her. The guild is putting on the memorial soon.

    Her daughter is alone now. Her dad passed exactly one year ago.

    My sympathies and prayers are with you. I lost my bff last November to cancer. But, the one good thing (if there is any light in something like this) is that God allowed her to leave doing something that she truly loved.

    I guess the trip to sacramento was too much for her. She was diabetic and overweight.

    Thank you all for your sweet sympathies. I just had to talk to someone this morning.

    The last thing we said to each other as she left my home walking away down my front walk way was ... "I love you kitty and she said I love you too sandy."

    Take comfort in your last words to each other. My close friend died a month ago and her sons said that while in ER she kept calling for me. I don't know why the boys didn't call me cause I'd been there for sure. Hugs to you.
