I'm so sad ...

[Nettie Belle]

Utter-happiness and joy in glory await in the next life, though they may bring heart-felt sadness and tears in this life.

Is that biblical? It's very nice. Thank you.

My prayers are with you.

God bless you all.

Thats just the "Chris Sullivan Paraphrase" but yeah there most likely biblical meaning behind it. I just liked the way it sounded when I typed it.

As of this morning, there is a new angel clown in heaven. Petunia will definitely liven the place up if necessary! Thank you for your prayers and condolences.

She will be greatly missed by many, but apparently, there was a shortage of clown angels in heaven, and she is no longer hooked up to machines, etc.

Bless you sister clown. I know she appreciated your prayers and friendship

I'm sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose someone you love. I bet she was an awesome clown.

Most funeral homes post Online Obituaries... if you get a chance please share hers with us.

I'll bet she is already playing pinnochle with the Pope, teaching him clown stuff, and speaking lovingly of a dear blue haired clown-friend that goes by the name of Nettie-Belle...
God Bless...

Nettie Belle, I am sorry for your loss. She is in a better place. A little piece of her spirit will live on in all of the people whose lives she touched. And as a clown, I am sure there were hundreds.

Nettie,
It is so hard to hear when a clown is sufferring especially when she is grieving over the loss of a dear friend clown that had made such a special impact on so many lives themselves. All of you are definately in my prayers and my prayer is that when that time came she left with a smile on her face like all the smiles she has put on so many other faces. God Bless You Both and just think she will be so trully and foreverly be smiling and in plain face too.

Yesterday was the memorial service for my friend. It was such a nice service ... a lot of us went in costume, and they had us wait in the foyer while the other people were seated, then the pianist played "Here Come the Clowns" as we came in. It was really sweet. Then, the pastor gave anyone who wanted to, a chance to talk about her. Most of the clowns did and some of her other friends as well.

They also had a slideshow going before the service. When it was over, the clowns assembled outside in the front of the church, said a small prayer and sent a dozen balloons in yellow and red (her colors) up to her, then we said the Clown's Prayer. I know she was looking down and smiling.

The reason it took 3 weeks for her memorial service, was for several reasons, but she was cremated and her ashes are going to be mixed with her husband's and buried or tossed (I don't know which) together.
