I am not sure if you notice I've mentioned about my aunt Debbie's cancer in some of my posts, but I went to her funeral today (August 20)

Before I am going to talk about the funeral, let me explain about her cancer and the death. This was actually wasn't her first time cancer, she did got a cancer at her back, but the doctor removed it, and then second time, she found some cancer on her chest and they were removed. Third time, she found another cancer on below of her stomach and the doctor found out the cancer already attacked her kidney so it was too late. All of the cancer she got are from the sunlight.

I remember I went to her house at my very first time, I only see her when I go to the Oregon State Fair once every year, that's the only when I see her in my lifetime.

Anyway, when I went to her house last week at the first time, it was very shocking to see her. She doesn't look the same at all, her face expression was the same, I was told by some of my hearing family that her voice was still the same, but how she look was scary and sad, she look very thin, her arm look like no muscle or fats at all, just the skin and bone just like a piece of wood stick. Her hairs are nearly gone, her chubby face change into a 80 years old look face without any chubby while she was only 50 years old. She seems cannot keep the foods in her stomach, she just kept threw up after she eat something, she cannot walk at all. All she can do is lay on the bed and talk to someone.

However, she died last August 14.

The funeral was actually a party, she doesn't want us to do the funeral for her, she want us to be happy to see that she is in the Heaven and wanted us to drop bunches of balloons to the sky as gift for her. We did it.

Rest in peace, Debbie.
 
I am sorry to hear about your aunt. I agree, it can be difficult to see someone who very sick, especially when you know they don't look or behave like the person you know. This happened to my dad.

At least you got to see your aunt. She sounds like she was a great lady. At least she is not suffering anymore. Good on her for saying she didn't want a funeral. Her farewell gathering sounds very nice.
 
I would like to offer my deep condolence to your family and at least she is in better place with God.

Cancer is a nasty thing. It can cause alot of sudden changes in physical appearances when the dying person is getting closer to his/her time. It happened to my mother and one of my good friends. My good friend who passed away last month lost so much weight (260 lbs to 180 lbs in his 6'4" frame) in only five months.
 
I am sorry to hear about your aunt. My prayers and thoughts to you and your family. :hug:
 
Puyo ... so sorry to hear of your Aunt's passing and pray that you and families will have the love and strength to carry on. :hug:

I am sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you in your time of grief. Your Aunt Debbie gave you a very powerful message when she decided she wanted a party for her funeral. Enjoy and celebrate every day of your life, and make it good for as long as it lasts. That is a message you can use to live your life. She sounds like a wonderful, insightful, loving woman.
 
I am very sorry about your aunt. I think she had a good idea for her funeral, so later you remember something nice.
