XOXO"AMY"XOXO
TODAY WAS A REALLY BLUE DAY
TEARS POURED FROM HEAVEN
AS A HEALING BALM
SENT FROM JESUS TO CLEANSE
THE SADNESS AND BRING HOPE
~DEBBIE
CAROLE ELIZABETH REIMER
MAY 27, 1955 - MARCH 7, 2010
SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND OF THE HOME
3 DAUGHTERS
9 GRANDCHILDREN
3 SISTERS
CAROLE ELIZABETH WAS MY SIL. SHE WAS
MARRIED TO MY HALF BROTHER AND SHE LOVED
HIM UNTIL HER LAST BREATH.
SHE LIVED WITH HER DAUGHTER SANDY WHO
TOOK IMMUCALATE CARE OF HER AND HER DAD.
THE TRAGEDY OF THIS IS THEY WERE ESTRANGED
FROM THE FAMILY BY THEIR CHOICE.
MY MOTHER AND I STAYED IN TOUCH WITH
THE DAUGHTERS AND I TALKED WITH CAROLE
ON THE DAY OF AMY'S FUNERAL. CAROLE
LOVED YELLOW ROSES AND THEY SET FREE
YELLOW BALLOONS AT THE END OF HER MEMORIAL.
PEOPLE WOULD SAY DON'T AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY, DEBBIE. OH
BELIEVE ME, I COULD AIR FILTHY LAUNDRY BUT THERE ARE SO VERY
MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE ESTRANGED FROM THEIR FAMILIES.
THEY HAVE NOT TALKED IN YEARS AND IF THEY SET DOWN
AND TALKED, THEY PROBABLY WOULD NOT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT CAUSED
THE SEPERATION.
WHEN YOU PLANT A GARDEN...WHICH WE COULD SAY IS THE FAMILY....THERE
IS A LOT OF DIRTY WORK....WEEDS TO BE PULLED THAT THREATEN THE
FAMILY....BUGS THAT ATTACK THE STRENGTH OF THE FAMILY.....ALL BEFORE
YOU SEE HOW EACH FAMILY MEMBER BLOSSOMS FOR THEIR PURPOSE.
I KNOW I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT WHEN SOMEONE DIES.......
IT IS FINAL FOLKS......NO MORE CHANCES TO TELL THAT PERSON
YOU LOVE THEM....DON'T STAND OVER THEIR CASKET AND JUST ASSUME
THEY KNEW YOU LOVED THEM.......I DID NOT GO TO CAROLE'S MEMORIAL
TODAY AS RICHARD AND I ARE STILL SICK BUT IT WAS A VERY TRAGIC
MEMORIAL.

LORD, EITHER LIGHTEN MY BURDEN OR
STRENGTHEN MY BACK.

"HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU? BE STRONG
AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE TERRIFIED,
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, FOR THE LORD
YOUR GOD WILL BE WITH YOU WHEREVER
YOU GO."
AMY'S DEAR FRIEND LEILA
AS YOU KNOW, 3 MONTHS AGO LEILA HAD A 1CM AREA ON HER CT SCAN
WHEN SHE WENT FOR A FOLLOW- UP.....THEY TOLD HER, WHAT THEY TOLD AMY.....IT IS
PROBABLY JUST SCAR TISSUE AND WE WILL REEVALUATE IN 3 MONTHS.
TODAY WAS THAT DAY...TEARS....TEARS......
THE 1 CM QUESTIONABLE SCAR TISSUE IS THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL FULL-FLEDGED
CANCER. WITH HER PARTICULAR TYPE OF CANCER THEY NEVER DO ANOTHER
SURGERY AND NO CHEMO OR RADIATION.
THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF INJECTIONS THEY WILL GIVE EVERY WEEK FOR THE
REST OF HER LIFE UNLESS A NEW DRUG IS FOUND. THESE TWO DRUGS WILL
NOT DESTROY THE CANCER. OH IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY.
LEILA NEEDS OUR PRAYERS AND GYPSY LULU NEEDS OUR PRAYERS.
SHARON, BARBARA'S FRIEND WHO HAS THE CANCER LIKE AMY, IS IN THE
HOSPITAL IN LOTS OF PAIN....ROY AND ELISABETH, ANASTASIA, SHAUNA, BETTY'S SON,
LADY KATHERINE, KACI B, THE REIMER FAMILY, JOHN, MONTE, TED, CASS, WILL, TREY,
TORRE, HOPE, SANDY, SHEILA, BEKAH, MICHELLE, CANDANCE, GLORIA, IRENE, AJ,
KRISTIE, TERESA, LYNN, PAT, DORIS AND RICHARD, LEILA'S PARENTS, DAVE, JENNA,
DEBBIE AND RICHARD, MEGAN AND RICHIE, TED'S JOB, LAURA, JEFF AND ROBBI
I HEARD A MAN TELL A STORY ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER. SHE HAD CEREBRAL PALSY.
SHE WANTED TO RUN CROSS COUNTRY. HER COACH SAID, "WELL YOU MIGHT AS
WELL JUST RUN HALF WAY AND SET DOWN, CAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
MAKE IT. SHE TRIED OUT AND CAME TO EVERY PRACTICE AND THE TEAM
NAMED HER THE TEAM CAPTAIN.
HER DAD WENT ON TO TELL WITH PRIDE HOW SHE FINISHED EVERY RACE....THEY
HAD LONG TAKEN THE TIME CLOCK DOWN WHEN SHE FINISHED BUT HER
MOTHER AND MATHER KEPT THE TIME. EVERY RACE SHE BEAT HER OWN TIME.
AT THE ATHLETIC BANQUET THEY ASK HER TO SPEAK.
SHE STARTED OUT WITH THE WORDS OF HER COACH, "YOU MIGHT AS WELL
GO HALFWAY AND THEN SET DOWN...YOU WON'T FINISH." BUT I DID
FINISH. I WAS RACING MYSELF AND EVERYTIME I BEAT MYSELF.
SHE REMOVED THE OBSTACLES. I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES.
I SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT TRUE STORY.
THAT BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IS
GLEN BECK'S DAUGHTER.
AS ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR SPENDING A PART OF YOUR DAY WITH
GRACIE ANNE AND ME. PLEASE JOIN ME IN
CONGRATULATING
SUZIE AND IRVIE ORTON
FOR COMPLETING THEIR MASTERS DEGREE.
SUZIE IS MY DEAREST COUSIN.
LOVE YOU BOTH
SIMPLY DEBBIE
