Ellie, Bill and family,
I am truly saddened to hear of your loss! Sending my deepest heart felt condolences and wishes . . .
Oh, Ellie. I am so sad for you and your whole family, all of whom I feel like I know because of this blog, including your sweet Dad. Am thinking of you all, and glad you are all together.
Dear Ellie and Jackie: I never knew your Dad but I know how you felt about him and what a force in your lives he was. My deepest sympathies to your whole family for your loss. I have you in my prayers. Love, Pat
Oh girls, what can I say? Life is so unexpected in the worst ways sometimes. I know you sisters are all there for each other, and for your mom, right now, and that you have a billion and one good memories of your dad. But still. Ach.
Gosh, words are hard to come by at this time. I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember your dad reading the paper, *trying* to mind his own business, in his hotel room during the wee hours of Jacquie's wedding festivities...I clearly stated to him as I ripped my very high heel shoes off, "my f***ing foot hurts!" hahaha And I'll always remember his kindness. I mean anyone else would have marched me out of the room, and he just smiled. (more like laughing at one of Jacquie's looney friends) I know you both miss him terribly like it's not real. My heart aches for you. xo
I am so sorry that my prayers were not enough. You had an amazing dad who helped you become the amazing women that you and your sisters are. I am so sorry that you didn't get to keep on loving on each other into his 90s and beyond. Some things just aren't fair...I know that all too well. Thinking of you and the entire Corey family and sending you comforting thoughts!
Ellie, Jackie and family - I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. He was such a great guy and I want you to know you and he have been in my thoughts and prayers since reading Julies post. God Bless and enjoy the wonderful memories!!
Oh, I'm so sorry to read this. Your photos and words say it all. His face was lit up and it's obvious he was joyful to be all of these things in your life... a father, friend, grandfather... just a great guy.
Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I grew to admire him from your posts. Obviously, he was a man to be admired and respected and loved, by his family, of course, but I know by others, too. You are all in my thoughts. I remember your posts, Ellie, explaining you had donated a kidney to your dad; that was a gift given and received in love that knows no bounds.
Once upon a glass or twelve of wine, Jacquie and Beth and Ellie got to talking. We decided that we were all enormously smart and clever and hilarious, and that it would be a crime not to share our unique talents with the world. We decided to start a blog together.
We needed a name, so Jacquie asked Beth: “What should we call a blog about meand you and Ellie?” And the rest, as they say, is history. We are having a blast writing this thing, and if there was any trepidation that we were only smart and clever and hilarious that night because of all the wine, our words here thus far have succinctly affirmed our mutual self-admiration.
What are you reading?
Ellie - Middlemarch, George Eliot. Finally
Jacquie - The Nightingale, Kristen Hannah
Beth - Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal by Julie Metz
