We are in Buffalo, Wy with family as Mr. FH's sister passed away
Wednesday night. She had a devastating disease called Scleroderma
for 5 years. It took a terrible toll on her, destroying her body
bit by bit. She was only 56 years old.

If you know of anyone with this disease, please advise them to
get to a scleroderma specialist IMMEDIATELY. Our sis waited too
long and the disease had too big a hold on her body. Once things
are affected they can't be undone. Aggressive treatment early
is the only thing that will slow the process. Hers was the worse
kind, Systemic Scleroderma.

We are mourning our loss, but would not wish her to live one
more day suffering as she was. God showed his grace in taking
her before the disease progressed further. The next thing for
her would have been kidney dialysis.

This is a rare auto-immune disease, and affects the connective
tissue of every part of your body by overgrowing cologan--scar tissue.
 
I am so sorry the loss of a sister is hard...any family for that matter but sisters were are first friends.
Sending prayers to you and yours.
 
Faster, I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully it was a blessing so that she wouldn't suffer any longer.

I just lost my cousin last night. He was one of the last relatives I have left except for my daughter and granddaughter. We were pretty close and I'm sure going to miss him.

I hear you. I don't have many relatives on my side...a cousin and her
son and his three kids. That's it. I am sorry to hear of the loss of
your cousin.

Thank you all for your condolences. It means a lot. We just got
back from Buffalo, will be going back Sunday for the service on
Monday morning.

We were very concerned about her 91 year old mother, outside of having
her moments, she is doing better than expected. It's not as if we didn't
know this was coming. Her husband is hit the hardest of course, they
have no children and live in an area where there is none of their family.
Of course, they have wonderful friends. When you leave your home
and family and move away, you find out friends are the family you choose.
People who never leave don't quite understand this, perhaps.


Anyway, many here on ranchers, I consider 'family' and again, we thank
you for your thoughts and prayers.
 
condolences from my household to yours, fh!! so sorry to hear that someone so loved and special died so young!! :cry: :cry:
 
Sorry for your loss. Our friend Bruce's mother died of that too. He said it was horrible.

Red Barn Angus, sorry for your loss also
