Please bear with the long message because I post this to bring honor to my cousin, Lisa White Balentine for the extraordinary person she was. The night before Tim died I was sitting alone & really hurting & my first cousin Lisa reached out to me. I hadn't seen her for years. That's the way it is with cousins tho. You lose touch but when you talk to each other again it's like no time has passed at all because you KNOW each other. You grew up together. Anyway, I say this because I'm thinking about her & I want her family to know of her message to me. The night before Tim died she texted me & I told her he was unresponsive & she answered (I've copied & pasted); "I know I went through this with my daddy. I want to help you in any way i can. I will not be afraid. Just know i love you and will be there in any way you need me. My number is xxx-xxx-xxxx if you need me. I feel for you and your family so much. Do not ever feel alone. If you need me now i will be there now." - I had absolutely no doubt that she would have been to my house in minutes if I had said so. I wanted to talk & connect with my cousin again but I thought we had plenty of time. I post this to bring honor to my cousin for the person she was. I love you Lisa.
