In Memoriam

Thursday evening a friend of my family passed away. Nour Turner, 82, died of complications due to cancer. She was at home, in her bed, with family when she passed. Nour A. Nour was sister to Catherine Coletti and Elias Nour (Old Man of the Mountain in Stone Mountain). She leaves behind many friends and family. We'll miss you NouNou. Her visitation is today from 3-6 at Wages & Sons in Stone Mountain. Her funeral is at 10:30 Monday at the Greek Orthodox church.

sorry to hear about your family friend's passing. death has a way of brushing by our fabricated existances and reminding us that there are so few precious things that indure. peace to you.

thanks for your comment over at my place....

hi thanks for dropping by my site and leaving a lovely comment.

sorry about losing your friend. david's mother has bowel cancer and alzheimers and is now in a nursing home, where at least someone in the family visits her everyday.

when i was a doctor ( and i had only been one for 2 years till now ) it didn't take long to detach yourself from all the suffering because you would have to face it over and over in varying degrees every single day, but when it strikes someone close to home or a loved one, it is a whole different matter.
