Hey Facebook Family As I do this post my tears are flowing......(I am sad to have lost another GREAT person in this world,this week....) This can be such a HARD time of year for those missing loved ones and my HEART & Prayers go out to all of you,who have lost family firneds or a very dear loved one.... Here is the info I want to share and I know it WILL maybe HELP one of you in some small way.... You see all summer long I had been feeling like I should visit a lady who used to be my neigbour growing up,I have visited her many many times over the years in fact before I left the Amish I always spent time over the holidays with her and her husband and their family off and on all my life because I spent so much time with her grandchildren it was so NATURAL just to call her Gramma..... Since I left the Amish that bond and connection only got deeper & deeper over the years.....(I had not seen her for a few months and this summer was feeling I HAVE to MAKE time to visit her again & in between everything that has been happening with me and just LIFE itself I never did get that visit in......) Getting to a phone call I received this week......I get the news that she passed away....... (My REGRET....is NOT having gotten that visit in....LIFE is to SHORT & we are never promised tommorrow,I KNOW THIS... I REALLY HAVE learned this over the years with my own health challenges and I slipped up by not visiting when I felt I should be,it saddens me to know we will never have a tea together again,never talk about her passions knitting,her grandchildren,great grandchildren,hockey,and just life in general.... I share this message for a few reasons.... DO better than I did....(I am going to change this I promise if I feel compelled to visit someone like that again I LEARNED my lesson the hard way....) I WILL VISIT!!! PERIOD!!! DO your BEST no matter how BUSY LIFE is or sometimes how many challenges you are faced with to spend time with those you TRUELY LOVE the ones who always have your back no matter what happens... She was like a gramma to me...I WILL miss our visits.... I WILL miss not getting a Christmas Card and Letter this year she was so faithful with sending one out to our home ever year.... At this time I would like to ask you all to PRAY for this family they have been hammered with deaths in the last few years.... In the last few years the death of a young man in this same family (this death was a shock to us all,it was so unexpected and he also FELT like my BIG protective Brother to me since I left the Amish,then there was another family member who also passed away and he also was like an Uncle to me over the years....and now Rita who was and will always be in my heart the sweetest lady ever,she had a heart of gold and LOVED deeply...) I WILL forever miss these 3 GREAT people in my life....(they may not have been DIRECT Family but they where FAMILY and always will be....) Prayers are appreciated.... Also lost my Uncle he was the guy everyone called SMILEY....(always had the BIGGEST Jokes and SMILES...)Please pray for his family also as they deal with Christmas .... Thinking of them BIG TIME right now... As Christmas approaches I for one WILL be thinking of all the people I MISS and lost in the last 2 years or so and I FOREVER will miss the many relatives who passed away years ago..... CHERISH your life and VISIT those you LOVE and CHERISH each moment as tommorrow is never Gareenteed!!!!! I hope you all have a GREAT & BLESSED weekend.....(I WILL do my best to be back and posting content for you all on Monday,I just really needed this time to spend away from F.B. and let this all be worked through and absorbed.....this has been TOUGH STUFF as it brings back all the other deaths all at once if feels so FRESH & PAINFUL......but the pain will leave eventually and there will be happier days ahead for now tho,I need Hugs,Love & for sure Prayers Please...) Hugs,Prayers, & Tons OF LOVE always sent your way...xoxoxoxxoo P.S.Those of you who want wake/viewing .... Family and friends will be received at the Mark Jutzi Funeral Home, 7 Spencer Street, Milverton on Sunday December 14, 2014 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m..
