When someone dies, two things happen: everything changes, and nothing changes.
Someone you've known and loved your entire life is no longer a part of it, and, your life changes. They're never going to be there again.
But at the same time, your life will continue on exactly as it did before. You'll still have Latin homework to do and a new episode of Gossip Girl to watch. And it feels wrong that something so normal can still be happening. So the only thing you can do is remember the good times and the things that person taught you and let those memories make you a better person.
BT was a cool lady, she was very generous, and she loved Santa Claus. She was "marvelous". And she will be missed.

I only got to meet her three or four times... but she was always very nice to me... even though her condition was worsening every time I saw her.
I'll always remember her and your meemaw randomly arguing about nothing while we all sat and watched... and then one of them would laugh, and it would be over.
Rest in peace, Betty Terry, today, you are no longer suffering, and that's a blessed thing.
They would get into the funniest arguments! Like which one of them discovered the brand of lotion they both liked. It was so funny to watch!
*hugs* Libby. I never met her, but your mom spoke of her several times and it was obvious what a special woman she was.
