Sam, this is one of those difficult times that all of us face at some point.
Even though we know it's coming, that makes it no easier to bear. With
others here in the group, my heart goes out to you and to your family.

Years ago I wrote some thoughts about the 23rd Psalm by Henry Ward Beecher
in the front of my Bible. It seems appropriate to share them with you at
this time.

-----
"Blessed be the day when this psalm was born. It speaks in every language on
the globe. It has charmed more griefs to rest than all of the philosophies
of the world. It has remanded to their dungeon more felon thoughts, more
black doubts, more thieving sorrows, than there are sands on the seashore.
It has comforted the noble host of the poor. It has sung courage to the army
of the disappointed. It has poured balm and consolation into the hearts of
the sick, of captives in dungeons, of widows and widowers in their pinching
griefs, and orphans in their loneliness."
-----

My thoughts are with you in this time. I'm calling out your name to the One
who loves you most, asking Him to provide your needs.

Sam,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I believe she is in a better
place with no more pain.
Smile at all the wonderful memories you have had with her.
Hugs, Doris

The last coin she really observed, was the PCGS PF69CAM Ike I received from
my christmas trading partner, and she thought it was one of the most
beautiful coins she had ever seen.

Sam-
I'm delighted that your mom was able to appreciate lovely coins until the end.
I know you have lived with this for a long time, and that you knew her time was
at an end.

She is now in a better place, and I sincerely wish, after you come to terms
with your grief, that 2005 is an improvement for you and the rest of your
family, too.

I, too, deal with COPD and appreciate the struggles involved.

Best wishes.

Tom

My deepest sympathies go out to you Sam : (

Its hard to believe, she has always been there for us.. its going to be
difficult for quite a while..

She gave up a very nasty fight, thats been going on for many years, but COPD
finally took her life. She was 73, and I have many boxes of lincolns,
including $25 of BU 1984-Ds she saved during the L.A. olympics.
Her thing was errors, and I have many to go thru, that she pulled from
buying rolls at the banks. More BIE's that you would
believe.

The last coin she really observed, was the PCGS PF69CAM Ike I received from
my christmas trading partner, and she thought it was one of the most
beautiful coins she had ever seen..(I have to agree) I have been so busy
caring for her these last few weeks, I have yet to get my trade mailed out.
It will get out soon tho.

Again, thanks for your prayers, but she is now breathing freely again, and
seeing those she has not seen in years.

Sam Flanigan

My condolences Sam..My prayers are with ya as this will be a tough
time for ya.

Regards,

Gary Loveless

Our prayers are out to you.

I knew you was in the hospital for a while not long ago, but had no idea
why...
My prayers are also with you, Eric...

Really sorry to hear this Sam. COPD is a debilitating disease, and most
people
don't understand unless someone close to them has it. I've lived with it
for six
years now, and it is no fun.

Thanks Sam. Believe it or not, that was over two years ago (last time I was
in the hospital). My COPD was primarily caused by infection damage while
pneumonia went undiagnosed. Of course, smoking for 15 years did not help.

One thing I am thankful for, and where there is a big difference between damage
caused by smoking versus damage caused otherwise, is that my FEV1 value has
been stable for the last three years. It has remained at 27% in seven different tests.
Of course, this isn't good, but for the most part I can function realizing my limitations.
