Sad, Unexpected News and Leaving Board

PSUWethr · Post by **PSUWethr** » Tue Dec 03, 2013 3:01 pm

On October 30th, my mom (Suzy Meitzler) passed away suddenly after a fall in her kitchen here in Pennsylvania. At this point, my dad has decided to sell their house (Island Dreams) in Coral Bay. I will try to make one more trip down to pack up some of her personal stuff but I think it will be a while before I could return. I wanted to thank everyone for the friendship on this board and wanted to say goodbye. It has been a horrible holiday season so far and my 6 year old is having trouble not having her grandma around.

To anyone who might want to own a piece of the rock, look up Island Dreams. It has been a great house and would make us happy to have it be a new family's escape to Paradise.

Thanks again,
Elisa

On no Elisa, I am so very sorry to learn this sad news. I hope you will return someday, when the pain is not quite so sharp and create some new and happy memories with your daughter. My deepest condolences to you and your whole family- truly. Julie

I am very sorry for your family's loss. I had always hoped our trips would fall at the right time so the kids could get together.

So sorry to hear. I have a 6 year old daughter as well, and I can imagine the pain you are both feeling. I hope she may find comfort in the thought that she may now have a guardian angel with her always.

The sudden loss of your mother just before the holidays must be very hard to bear, especially when your daughter and father may need your attention and comforting. I am sorry for your loss. I hope that you and your daughter can experience some aspect of the season together that will help you remember wonderful times with your mom and make your daughter a part of that tradition.

I'm sorry for what you are experiencing. Loss of special people leaves us walking in circles and not knowing where to turn. I pray that you will find peace. Hugs to you.

Words never can fill the gap, but I find this to help a little.

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose. For all that we deeply loved becomes a part of us. Helen Keller

Perhaps this will be something you can say about your mom and STJ soon.
