I too am shocked at this tragic loss. Poor Blossom... She was so inspirational and a joy to all of us on the forum. I am so sad to have read this post. Phillip, I am so sorry this happened to your family. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Teresa

Dear Philip ~ Nobody can even begin to understand the pain you are going through ~ but as you said, please feel comfort in knowing that Carolyn was doing exactly what she wanted to be doing on the last day here with you ~ and how many of us can say that? I looked again at her picture and her beautiful smile, happy eyes, and sunshine blonde hair and how young she was. "Blossom"....what a perfectly fitting name for a beautiful young woman who will remain in our hearts forever.....

"It could happen any time, tornado,

earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.

Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could, you know. That's why we wake

and look out -- no guarantees

in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,

like right now, like noon,

like evening."

Like "Blossom", Like Carolyn........

Dearest Philip,

Thank you so very much for taking the time to share those last hours with us. My heart aches for you, may the good Lord give you strength to carry on and get that house built. Hopefully, building the house will occupy your time and your mind, and help you heal.

May God Bless and keep you.
