Such a beautiful tribute to your sister... so obvious how much she was loved by you and your family.

As others have said, that was a very beautiful poem as a tribute to your older sister.
I am sorry for your loss Carbonman.

Sorry for your loss Carbonman. It sounds like you've learned enough from life to take the good gratefully and move past the bad. My older sister is struggling with Alzheimers and every day is a challenge, yet we have to remind ourselves that life is on loan without any guarantees. The Eagles wrote in Hotel California: It's a hotel at best, you're here a quest.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Somehow some way, I will get up and read the
eulogy that I shared with you, for my sister.
I have not felt connected to this world since Sun.
I'm sure that will change and I will find a path to follow.

To all who love Shirley,
Please join us in a celebration of her life
on
Wednesday, September 19 at 1:00 pm
at
Rockland Community Church
17 S. Mt. Vernon Country Club Rd.
Golden, CO 80401
http://www.rocklandcc.org/index.cfm/Pag ... index.html

In memory of Shirley Ann Esterly, donations can be made to
Colorado Horse Rescue, http://www.chr.org
10386 North 65th St, Longmont, CO 80503.

By her wishes, she will be cremated during this service.
Again, with all the special people by her side, her ashes will
be returned to the earth in Rocky Mountain National Park
at she and Chuck's special place.

Words can not express my thanks for your kind words and thoughts.
All of you are deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

to see or feel those changes, you'll never know what you're capable of."
