My best friend took her own life at the age of 16. We played "Who am I to Say" by Hope and "Speeding cars" - Imogen Heep. They were songs I knew her and I connected on, but if I could go back I would play this song by Alan Jackson. It's perfect for a wife, daughter or mother. Just listen to the song.
Lyrics "Sissy's Song"
Why did she have to go So young I just don't know why Things happen half the time Without reason without rhyme Lovely, sweet young woman Daughter, wife and mother Makes no sense to me I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying Don't worry 'bout me
Loved ones she left behind Just trying to survive And understand the why Feeling so lost inside Anger shot straight at God Then asking for His love Empty with disbelief Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye Her picture in my mind They'll always be of times I'll cherish And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying Don't worry 'bout me Don't worry 'bout me
My grandmother has been in the hospital fighting for over four months.
She just turned 61 on July 28th. After four months of fighting, the doctors said there was nothing else they could do, & sent her home.
She then came here to my mother's house, where she stayed for almost a week, until we had to rush her back to the hospital Sunday August 2, 2009.
We then found out her Kidney's stopped working, so we knew it was not going to be long. The doctor called my mother yesterday & told us the family needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible, that she had less than 24 hours to live.
We all rushed down there about 3:00pm. She was completely unresponsive - her eyes were open & she could hear everything we were saying, because tears would fall from her eyes as we each talked to her, but she couldn't respond back to us. The doctor said she was in a 'semi-coma'.
After 6 grueling hours of the entire family sitting in her room, she finally passed away last night, August 4, 2009 at 9:28pm as the very last family member, her 2nd oldest child, came into the room, took her hand & said 'Im here, mom, I love you' - she then took her last breath & was gone.
She's always been a strong woman. She hung in there all that time to make sure she said her last goodbyes to EVERYONE. We love her dearly & will miss her more than you could imagine!
Chelsey Marie Linebaugh 2009 Basketball Homecoming Queen
At 1:51 AM on Sunday February 15 2009, Chelsey Marie Linebaugh left us to walk with Jesus and all of her loved ones who were waiting to be with her again. She was born on November 25, 1990. Her and her best friend were on their way home from a Valentines party, with her best friend who was driving. When we all got the call saying Chels had died in a wreck and Amber had been hurt every body was devastated. When school came on Monday everybody was crying holding everybody and telling them how much they loved them, and how much they missed Chels and how they loved Amber. the hardest thing was being at basketball practice that day. We didn't practice much we all cried cuz Amber and Chels wasn't there. We played the game and won - meaning we would go to regionals. We all cried and prayed in the middle of the court and Cotter, the team we played came in the locker room and gave us flowers. We didn't think our hearts could break any more but they did. we didn't have two of our team mates and friends there playing with us. Amber who wasn't seriously injured sat on the bench crying with us for the whole game. We knew Chelsey was there watching us. She was the most perfect person. This was the basketball homecoming queen for homecoming the January before the accident. She wore the most perfect green dress and looked absolutely beautiful. She always had a smile on her face and she never said anything mean or negative. She always helped people and she would make you smile and laugh when you were having a bad day. She was beautiful inside and out - and not a day goes by that we dont think about her and miss her. R.I.P Chelsey Marie Linebaugh
