Member Carlie with the Angels - A Huge Loss for Veterans

Rate this question

Question

  • Founder

Brothers and Sisters - Our CarlieCash had a heart attack Thursday and flatlined at home, 911 was able to get a heartbeat again, but to much time had passed. She is in a coma and recovery is not possible. Her wife Lucy has been handed the difficult task of letting her go and her decision is to wait until Veterans Day to honor Carlie and to let her go to her reward then. I am sure that Lucy and Carlie would appreciate all prayers and kind thoughts sent their way. I am heartbroken.

Their address

Lucy Croft

1702 - 55th St So
Gulfport, FL 33707

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

Tbird, this is terrible news!

I remember when Carlie first came here many many years ago as a novice to the inner workings of the claims process...and then she became so valuable to all here with her incredible help and dedication to her fellow veterans,and her excellent posts and advice here will continue to help others.

The last claim she had was a hard one to win but she did win it and it gave many here hope.

I will ask my prayer group to pray for her today.And I urge that we all pray for Lucy too and the difficult road she has ahead with dealing with this.

Carlie was concerned that Lucy would be eligible for DIC if she died ,and we discussed that here earlier this year,when VA posted the new  same sex marriage DIC criteria.

But Lucy isnt thinking of that, she is dealing with a very difficult decision and that decision will bring Carlie Peace with Honor.

I never thought ,even though Carlie has been ill, I would read something this sad today at hadit.

It is very heartbreaking. She did so much for others and will never ever be forgotten.

May God bless them both.

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
