We have had quite a bit if bad luck this last six months or so. But none have been this hard to deal with. I was informed that my Aunt passed away. It happened the very day I had my surgery. Evenone thought it was best to keep it from me till I was better. She was my rock, one of my best friends, and a mother who was looking foward to being a grandmother for the fist time (not that any of her children were pregnant but they were trying) She had been baby shopping for months and had a closet full of baby toys, clothing, and blankets. She was also getting ready to give her only duaghter away at her wedding in April.

Elaine Renee aka Nay was the baby of my dads side of the family. The youngest of 6 sibs. And was adored by everyone she ever met. At only 52 I want to know why? Why would God want to take her away from all who loved her and needed her? I have lost family members and all hurt but this was just not supposed to happen.

She had been working out quite a bit trying to lose a few lbs before her daughters wedding. She and her oldest son had been going for runs after dinner for the last few weeks. This day no different then any. They did not run any more or less then any other time. At the end of their run, they reached my cousins garage with my cousin just about 20 feet ahead of her, she aproched him with a smile saying "you beat me" with my cousin looking right at her she said oh no and fell,,, He caught her, gave her cpr. While yelling for his wife to call 911. They both did not stop cpr till the fire trucks came. She was gone. Just like that. They say she had a massive heart attack and was gone before she even fell.

I am having a very hard time dealing. I tore my house apart looking for pictures of her just to look at her. I find myself calling her house phone just to listen to her voice on the answering machine. This is the only pictures I was able to find. She was my Maid of honor at my wedding and looked just as beautiful and young now as she did back then. (14 years ago)
