This is my 200th post on Blog by the Bay.  I had a very different post planned, but this one was much more important.  My friend, fellow real estate agent and blogger Bill Lublin tragically lost his wife Sheila yesterday.  I was very fortunate to have met Sheila just a few weeks ago in San Francisco.  As moms, we had an instant connection and spent a long time chatting and getting to know each other.  She was an amazing lady and an inspiration.

I met Bill through the real estate community, we are both writers for AgentGenius.com and he has become my friend.  I am terribly saddened by the Lublin family’s tragic loss.  My heart goes out to Bill and the Lublin family. 

On a positive note, I am honored to be part of a community that is amazingly supportive of each other.  I have seen the outpouring of love for Bill today.  Many of us are contributing money to help food deliveries for Bill and his son from local Philadelphia area restaurants/deli’s.  Please join us in making a contribution by clicking here to contribute.   Excess donations will be sent to the American Cancer Society.

Services for Sheila will be held on Friday August 8, at 10:00am ET at:
Goldstein’s Rosenberg Rafael Sacks Funeral Homes
310 Second Street Pike
South Hampton, PA 18966

Love is stronger than death even though it can’t stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.  Author unknown.

In honor of Bill and Sheila, BlogbytheBay will go dark on Friday.  Cherish each minute with those you love.
