Silver Patriot Has Passed Away. 2-18-1953 to 7-29-2019

She is now in the loving arms of Jesus. Sliver Patriot, a 10 year poster on GLP, passed away last monday, July 29th, from cancer. She had been diagnosed in April. When they attempted surgery in April, it was everywhere in her abdomen, so they started heavy duty chemo and radiation instead, to try to knock it down. It never worked, and she steadily went downhill.

Silver Patriot, my friend Sandy on and off this board, fought with all she had, and was bolstered by the many prayers of posters on this board. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your kindness, for your thoughts, and your prayers for my friend Sandy. While Sandy was still conscious, she told me she wanted me to tell you all "THANK YOU" for your prayers.

Sandy was a Patriot,having served in the Air Force, as did her husband. Sandy was also a Prepper, very wise to the possibilities of "anything can happen". Sandy was a strong person, but very kind hearted to all in need. She was such a good, and supportive friend to me, talking me through a lot of the strife I have had at home over the years. All I had to do was call or send an email, and she had my back, no matter what was going on here with me.

I was privileged to spend her last few days on this earth with her, praying with her and for her, helping her with her medical and other needs, and giving her husband, her sole caregiver, a little break. Even though she went home from the hospital on hospice care at her home on July 25th, Hospice didn't show up until the afternoon of July 29th, a few hours before Sandy died.

I had to catch my 18 hour train ride back home to the Chicago area, a couple of hours before Sandy passed away. She died as I was en-route home.

Sandy's legacy, IMO, is to fight for what is right, never give up, and keep the Faith.

Godspeed my friend ! What a difference you made in my life, my dear friend Sandy !!! RIP.

Sandy and I had plans to go to Wyoming this summer, to check out the land her husband and her bought, to build their retirement home. Her husband was going to retire in November, she was already retired. They had the blueprints, and she was going to pick me up here in Indiana,on the way to Wyoming. It was going to be a girl's road trip, with one of her dogs with us ! When she was diagnosed with the cancer, she said we were going to go on that road trip next year, things just delayed a bit. But,it was not meant to happen. :(

Godspeed, Sandy.

My condolences to you and her family. May you all find peace, and know you will see her again.

You sound like a friend worth having. I'm so sorry about Sandy. I lost my best friend to cancer when she was 41. She had an ovarian cyst. The hospital just stalled for time with her treatment until it was too late. She died with the cyst still there. No offer of an emergency hysterectomy. She left 3 daughters and a husband of just short of 25 years. I was absolutely devastated and cried like a baby at her funeral. We'd known each other from being kids.

I miss her still. But it's true in that time is a great healer.

You shared life together. You always remember and they're never too far away.

We all have that to remember

God bless you Tiger and prayers for you and Mike. I am so sorry. Sandy will be missed here.

Didn't know her but if she was a patriot , she will be missed.
RIP.

I am so sorry to hear this. Sandy was so informative and free with her friendship towards me. Many updates to my garden were due wholly to Sandy's advice.

She will be greatly missed.

This is so sad, and that would have been a great trip, prayers to console you Tiger

That sucks.
Prayers for her and her family and friends.

RIP



All that money they rake in for healthcare and cancer research and we still lose loved ones.
I'm positive they have a cure too.
