Dennis and Gail, It's soo good to see you here again. Thank you for your
kind thoughts. I will pop in here when ever possible. Hugs to both of you! -- In Star love and friendship, Norma Woods D.D.G.M. District 21 "Spike Driver" wrote in message ... Norma wrote: Hi group, Well, I've not had a lot of time to write, although I've been reading every few days. So... Congrats to all that need it, condolences to others, and you know how I feel about all of you. I've been busy with my OES stuff. I've had 3 Official Visits so far with 6 more to go in the next few months. I'm out an average of 3 nights a week travelling around the district. I'm having fun with this, which makes it so much easier. this week I will be out Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs. :-) Then the next week I'm only out one night, so I get a rest. On another note, my sister (the one with the very bad heart and vascular dementia) is moving in with us the end of January. She is on disability, and just can't make ends meet in an apt. So... we are in the process of figuring out what to get rid of and where to move the rest to, out of Mom's room to make room for her and her stuff. Should be an interesting time ahead for all of us. Oh, and my oldest sister got word today that Mom's headstone is in place. So tomorrow we are going to the cemetery to see it. I think I'll take some flowers, even though they will probably only last the one day before they are frozen. We had a friend with cancer pass away this past week. A couple of us were going up to the hospital and spelling each other to stay with her through the night so she wouldn't be alone. She was so deep with morphine... I told her that when she was ready to go, Mom would be there to greet her, and then a few days later...Oh! I had the most wonderful dream! Mom came to see me and we hugged and told each other how much we missed each other. I asked Mom where she is now, and she said she couldn't tell me, but that it was very beautiful. Our friend passed away less than 12 hours after I had the dream. Well, that's all for now. Dear Sister, It is so nice to hear from you Norma. I am so sorry that in such a busy year so much has happened. I know how busy you are and you are in our prayers. I am trying to get in more often now and will try to keep in touch. Star love and God bless, Dennis & Gail P.P. & P.M. |

Hi Norma, I don't know if mental telepathy works but I am sending all my
persuasive powers. In my experience, it doesn't work to get mad at them but letting them know how sad you are can sometimes work wonders. Good luck. -- Jan in MN "Norma" wrote in message ...

Thanks Jan.
I did talk to the owner of the company. I am sending him a couple of suggestions on what might be done. Apparently, that star that was used is used all the time. I told him that if so, that it's possible that I might have seen one at some time. If I have, it didn't register that it was supposed to be an "Eastern Star". We might have to pay more money, but frankly we don't care, we just want it put on her headstone. He seemed very nice on the phone, and I'm hoping that he will be able to do something. He will call me when he gets the info and let me know. -- In Star love and friendship, Norma Woods D.D.G.M. District 21 "The Jonathan Lady" wrote in message ...
