Sometimes Life Isn't Fair
My mom's health continues to decline. We met with some doctors and a nurse last night to talk about all the options. We wanted to be rest assured that we had done everything possible to fight this battle. All said and done, we have. Her kidneys have stopped working, we are at the end. Hospice is coming in to make sure that she is comfortable. Your prayers and faith have helped us through this. When we started fighting doctors thought maybe two weeks. Here we are at five months. She has been a valiant warrior and know that she will continue to be. With the faith and prayers of dear family and friends our family will get through this. Sometimes life isn't fair!

Kandace, I am at a loss for words. I was so hopeful that you were going to beat this and it seemed to be looking good for a while. You have beat the odds the doctors gave you and you put up a good fight! Natalie is right sometimes life isn't fair! I just wanted to let you know that it was an honor knowing you and you are such an amazing women. You have made an impact on me in my life. You are always so sweet and whenever I see you while visiting my parents you always stop to chat. I have been praying for you. And I will continue to pray for you and your family, and for strength to get through the hard times. We are so lucky to know the truthfulness of the gospel and that we will be with our family for all eternity and to just trust in our Heavenly Father and his plan.
ReplyDeleteSending love and prayers to you and your family!

ReplyDeleteKandace,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say thank you! Thanks for your great example of strength and courage. Thanks for your encouragement, friendship and being a mentor. You have been a shoulder to lean on and a listening ear to complain to. I will always remember your contagious smile! Love to you and your family!
I have no words. I love you, Kandace.
ReplyDeleteKandace,
ReplyDeleteWords cannot express the love that I have for you. You are an amazing person and an amazing friend. I so enjoy working with you and seeing your beautiful smile ~ you always know how to make a dreary day seem so much brighter. I still remember the day that you came to my rescue when one of my high school students was having a melt-down and I so appreciate how you listened to me afterward and let me cry on your shoulder. I have learned so much from your wonderful example. Thanks for being you. I love you!
My dear Kandace. I love you. You helped me so much through my cancer and gave me a shoulder to cry on. You kept my class for me when I went to Cancer Suport meetings and the entire time, you were secretly battling your own cancer. Natalie is correct: life is not fair. I feel so helpless because you helped me during my difficult time and I couldn't do anything to help you.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I saw you, I could feel the warmthh coming from your heart. You radiated love and hope and are a fighter of fighters. I will be lost without your earthly presence. You were my go to person at school. I can hear your laugh as I type and good memories of you are warming my heart just thinking about you. You are the best, most loving kindest person I know. You will be in a perfect place and you leave behind many who will miss you sorely and you will be in our hearts forever. God has a plan for you and I will see you on the other side. I pray for you and your family.
My dear friend, I shared with you this saying before and want to share it you again, so here goes:
He said, go to the edge
But, I will fall
He said, go to the edge
But, I will fall
He said, go to the edge
I did, he pushed me and I flew
Kandace, my dear friend. Have a safe flight. You will be in my heart forever. I love you my friend, always and forever. Until we meet again.
Love you,
Kerri Sales-Geiger
I'm so sorry! Just know I love you Kandace and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be friends with you and I will always treasure the memories we had together! It was an honor knowing you and you are an amazing woman! Thank you for your great example of strenght and courage! You never gave up!!! You have made a huge impact in my life and I will never forget you! You will be in my heart forever! You have done everything you can and now it's time to let go and not suffer anymore! My prayers will continually be with you and your family! They are strong and will get through this and will look forward to when they will be with you again! Rest In Peace Kandace! I will love you forever!!!

Kandace,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many times I have been prompted to stop by and let you know I was thinking of you....but I didn't listen and thought, "oh I will go next week"...shame on me. Every week when I go into "our office" I miss seeing you in your chair, with a smile on your face. I especially miss the fashion advice when you would ask me if your hair was too poofy. I will continue to miss you every week. You were the first to tuck me under your wing and show me the ropes. You gave me the confidence I needed to be proud of the students' success and we shook our heads a little at the times that weren't so successful. You always show genuine interest in my life and in my families life. You are a great example to me and will be greatly missed. What a great legacy you have created. I don't know if I have met anyone that doesn't comment when your name comes up...."oh I love Kandace." Kandace thanks so much for everything. You have fought this with grace.
Your friend forever!

I am heartbroken and at a loss for words. Kandace, I love you and remember what fun it was being neighbors. We were so blessed to have you next door and to have Megan and Brady grow up together, they were inseparable. You were a great second mom to Megan. Hopefully all of our prayers have helped to ease some of the pain of this nightmare you have been enduring. I am not giving up and never will, but know our continued thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We so wanted to come visit but the timing wasn't ever right and we don't want to intrude. Tons of love and hugs. Families and friends are forever.

My Dear Friend Kandy,
ReplyDeleteI had told Randy yesterday that I was going to stop in this afternoon, but then today I wasn't feeling 100%. I was afraid that if I really was sick that I'd give you something. Then I read your blog and my heart sank. I love you Kandy, and hope that you know that. Our teenage years were full of fun, from skiing to Alaska and Hawaii. I have a picture of my wedding day on the wall with you there by my side as my Maid of Honor. Memories of our friendship are some of my most precious I have. Kandy, you gave it everything you had, you fought a brave fight and everyone who knows you has found strength through your example of courage. I love you Kandace so very much. Peace be with you.
Love,
Pen
Kandace,

Families are Forever! You have a special family. I pray god will be with you and your family during this time. Take Care!!
