a sad morning

thefunkyfresh by thefunkyfresh · Jun 12, 2003 · 214 views · Journal

This girl from my hall named tashi died this morning, i just can't believe it, she was only 21... she had lupus, and like a month ago she just started feeling sick and didn't know why, the doctor said it was something else, then like 2 weeks ago it just flared up, and she just kept getting worse and worse. she had a series of heart attacks and strokes and her bloodcount kept falling until this morning she died.



she moved to our hall about 2 or 3 years ago, she was originally from jamaica and had only been in the truth for a couple years. she was really amazing because nobody else in her family was in the truth, and for a while she didn't even have a car, but she pioneered from almost as soon as she got to our congregation.



through the whole thing i always thought she would pull out of it, and i still can't even believe she's gone. i was never really close to her, but she was always so nice and so sweet, she didn't deserve what she got. this system really really sucks.

why wouldn't they have the show? When are they doing a funeral? What's going on?

that is so awful...and scary at the same time. Not only being so young, but my faith in doctor's finding out what is truly wrong w/ you is rapidly dwindling. The new system really needs to come soon.

my grandad died of this. it's really sad but it pretty much just runs its course and slowly kills your body. i'm so sorry to hear about this sister. maybe in her death her family will come to appreciate the truth.

I was so shocked when Katie told me about Tashie this morning. She's our age, ya know? She was such a sweet, humble sister. At another funeral, a sister said to me, "We'll continue this later" as in the resurrection. I still think of that every time someone passes away. We really will continue this later.

yea, My mom had called me this morning to give me the news. I went to pioneer school with Tashi and we were out alot in service. She was a tough girl, really shocked me that she lost to such a terrible illness. I really am blown away that something like this could happen, but shows what times we live in, i really do hope to see her soon....

Tashi was the perfect example of what ever young person should do with themselves. She was a pioneer, and she was so mild, humble, and sweet. She always seemed to be smiling. I never got to work with her out in service, but everytime I visited Hackettstown to go out in service-she was always there. I hope her example inspires the rest of us to take advantage of our youth, and put Jehovah first. I can imagine how beautiful she must have been in Jehovah's eyes. We will see her again. What an amazing sister.

wow... I never met her but would see her around the Hall... wow... sorry

awww, poor Tashi. Proverbs 7:1 comes to my mind, where the day of death is better than the day of birth. she'll be remembered for who she was and all her wonderful and great deeds.

that's really sad, matt. hope to meet her in the new system. she'll be happy to know of ur kind thoughts.
