Mrs. S.

My mom, Porter and I went to a mass for our neighbor yesterday. Mrs. S. was a terrific lady, and a great neighbor. She had only lived in our town for a few years, but judging from the number of people at her service, as well as the varied make up of the group, there are a lot of people around that thought she was terrific.

She was a social and sociable woman, but due to her age and health, she couldn't get out very much. But that didn't stop her- she organized a knitting group, and there were often cars in her driveway- she was determined to not be alone, and to always expand her circle of friends.

Mrs. S. had been going downhill for a long time, and had chosen to stop fighting the cancer that had invaded her body, so her death was no surprise. She was a kind, caring, and giving woman, and she will be missed.

Goodbye, Mrs. S.
