I'm sad at a Sister's passing...
I had some sad news today about a Chapter Sister's passing.
Her death had been expected, and her pain is over, but when I think of her, I'll always remember the high regard I always had for her.
She was a real beauty, had much grace and charm, common sense, and good humor. She had challenges later in life, but she bore them with strength, because sometimes you really have no choice.
Her name was Carol. But she was always known as Coop, in that way we name our Sisters; nicknames, fun names, endearing names. She was a good Mother, a good person, and I'm glad she was my Sister.
God Bless You, Coop. I choose to remember you as the beauty we were all so proud of when you won Sig Ep Calendar Girl. I hadn't seen her in years, so it's not difficult to remember her in her youth. I'm sure she's in a place now where she's whole, and healthy, and as beautiful once again on the outside as she was on the inside.
In life and in death, she is my Sister.
