Three years this week...
Edited on Fri Feb-18-11 01:11 AM by PBS Poll-435
I prepared a tax return for an amazing woman. Smart and beautiful, had recently given birth to a precious daughter.

I stayed to meet her at 9:30 PM because of her schedule. She was an incredibly gifted nurse at a really great hospital here.

We had coffee and talked small chat. We had spoken over the phone many, many times because of the complexity of her and her family's return. Meeting her fulfilled every expectation I had of her kind telephone voice and intelligence. By this point I considered her a friend.

7 weeks later she died in a horrific mid-day car wreck.



Having a difficult time dealing with it.

1. My dear PBS Poll-435...
What a wrenching loss for you, and her family, and that baby daughter...

I am so sorry.

You had developed a deep friendship, and it has stayed with you all these years...

She will always have a place in your heart and your memory...

I hope that your good memories of her will help sustain you as you deal with this horrifying loss...

:hug:

2. CalPeg, thanks
I figured that I needed to put it in writing because. Just because.


And your kind words are awesome.


Thanks. :hug:

5. I like what you say,
that you needed to put it in writing. Just because.

Yes, that makes a huge statement right there.

What a wonderful way she enhanced your life. :hug:

6. Friend... you are the kindest soul.
it is difficult losing someone you've grown to know in such a senseless way.
talk about it...it will help.

I'm there.
