The Lowery Pullen family lost a great friend today. My parents' next-door neighbor of almost 20 years, Elizabeth Cheatham, suffered a burst brain aneurysm yesterday. She and a fellow college professor were chatting, when Mrs. Cheatham gently laid her head on the table. She never woke up.
I will miss her everyday. She adopted my family as her own. She remembered birthdays, took us to movies, baked cookies with us, helped us with Spanish homework, hosted engagement parties, cried with us when I lost our first child and enthusiastly celebrated our pregnancy with Ella Kate. She was a larger-than-life personality trapped in a petite 5-foot frame.
She is currently on life support until her family can travel from Peru. Please pray for her husband, Rex, and their son, Rex II. Losing someone, so young, with no warning, has to be one of the hardest trials to endure.
Her passing is a harsh reminder that our time here is limited. We never know what lies around the next corner. Whatever you are doing today - stop. Take time to call your family and friends and tell them how much you love them.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.

I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Cheatham. She had such a huge presence for such a little woman.
