Never thought I would get back into this Blog that has recorded the History of my Dear Friend Nelda Sosa (plus others who have needed prayer throughout the years).

Nelda Sosa continues to "Fight the Good Fight"; however, I regret to report that our mutual dear friend, Jill Susan Honer is no longer with us in the physical realm.  I guess "regret" pertains to those of us that miss her dearly as I know she is experiencing only peace, light, joy, and love in OUR FATHER'S ETERNAL KINGDOM.  Jill went on to be with Our Good God on December 14, 2015.  Her last words spoken were on her son's birthday, December 10, 2015, and I was privileged, along with Nelda, to be by her side.  Nelda was on speaker phone and Jill excitedly told her that it was Erik's Birthday.  Jill's Mom and Aunt Gigi were busy trying to whip up a raw vegan birthday cake and felt good that I was there by Jill's side.  Jill's Mom, Carolynn, remained at Jill's side 24/7 unless another loved one could briefly take her place.  Carolynn was very strong for Jill.  I still do not believe the full gravity of it has hit me yet, but that also may be how our Good God protects our psyche.  Life without Jill's physical, bright, incredible spirit still seems undoable, yet I am doing it, living it, in spite of my resistance to it.  I know that makes no sense to anyone but me.  It is just the best way I know how to describe my feelings.  I still feel Jill everywhere!  I speak of her in the present tense, and I am not sure that will ever change because she will be with me always.  Soooooo many people loved and cherished Jill.  Like her Grandmother, Grace Knolle (Nana), Jill had a way of making you feel like you were the most important, special, exciting person on this earth.  You would think a "little beautiful thing like sweet Jill" could not contain all that love for so many people and/or living creatures, but SHE DID.  Jill was bigger than life, and she LIVED LIFE one hundred and twenty percent of the time.  You never found Jill plopped down in front of a T.V. while life passed her by.  No, until she was absolutely forced to use the bed sent from amazing Hospice Staff that served her, she was determined to keep on living, giving, loving, and laughing.  From her own bed, she busily ordered on-line gifts to give to all the people who helped her and/or just because she thought it was "cute".  We all had a system of checking the mail before her husband arrived home from work and smuggling her daily treasures in for her to open.  She giggled with delight as she tried to rush and open them and get them in a safe hiding place.  However, I do not confine that behavior to only when she was ill because she was always doing something that was fun, maybe a little mischievous, but never harmful.  For example, while still living in Corpus Christi, Texas (homeschooling) if the kids were ahead on their lessons, Jill would declare an early spring break or Christmas in July, or some other quirky fun mix on making memories.  We made many memories together beginning in the 1980's when we became very close friends at W.B. Ray High School.  I was a grade ahead of her, but she was like the little sister I never had.  I will bring this to an end for now but I hope to keep my blog flowing along as Life HAPPENS!
