I received a call last night that my sister had passed away.
She was in the hospital for a knee replacement and developed a staph infection.
They had to redo the replacement and she was being treated with high dosages of antibiotics.
The unexpected happened. Death. So much could be shared on this subject, but I will stay silent.
Betty was 69 years old.
I will be taking a quick trip to Michigan with my youngest daughter as soon as I receive a call of funeral arrangements.
My sister has 3 children: 2 daughters and 1 son.
Years ago when my children were young and we lived on a farm, they would visit almost every summer.
This happening is truly unexpected and has deeply saddened me.

I am so very sorry. I've been hearing about this happening more and more at hospitals. Awful, awful. My thoughts and prayers are with you, dear Ernestine.
How devastating. How tragic. Please know you and your family and, of course, your sister's family are in my prayers.
Dear Ernestine, I know you are grieving so much for your sister.
I hope you have a safe trip, and allow yourself to feel all the sadness, but remember the fun times of summers long ago.
I am so sorry.
Thinking of you as you travel to be with family.
