It's with great sadness I let you all know that we lost a FReeper last night. MaineRebel, husband of monthly FReeper donor SheLion was felled by a massive heart attack at about 10pm last night.

FReeper prayers for SheLion and her family.

SheLion
Freeper since 7-28-01

SheLion and her husband, FReeper MaineRebel, hail from Ohio.
So how did they end up in the beautiful state of Maine?

As noted below, MaineRebel served in the U.S. Army from 1964-1968. Upon discharge, he and SheLion were married. He got the "itch" to go back into the military and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1970. MaineRebel became a career military man and SheLion, a military wife.
After much traveling, including a five year tour-of-duty in Germany, they received orders to Loring Air Force Base, Maine, in 1983. They packed up their van with their little daughter, two cats and a Doberman and off they went. Loring is between Limestone and Caribou. WAY up north. In fact, Caribou is the most northeastern city in the U.S. It is a three and one-half hour drive north of Bangor, a six hour drive north of Portland and a ten hour drive north of Boston.
They purchased a home right off base in 1984 and settled in. SheLion obtained civilian employent at Loring Air Force Base and was there until the base closure in 1994. MaineRebel retired from the military in 1992 and has been a Government civilian employee with DFAS (Defense Finance Agency Service) on Loring since 1996.
In SheLion's Words:

"What with the world situation, I am very thankful to have remained this far out of the mainstream of the crazy world we live in. We could never go back to living in a big city again. Can we say Window Bars? Heh!"

Prayers for you my friend. I enjoy seeing you online in the wee hours of the morning, you have brightened my days many times. Nothing I can say will alleviate what has happend but I will pray that the Lord brings you comfort. A sad day indeed, if you need to talk freepmail me and I will send you my home #, you can call collect. Take care friend and know that your fellow freepers will be letting your name fall from their lips as they speak with the Lord this day and many more.

May a Spring breeze always be upon his face and the Summer Sun upon his shoulder, and the blue skies of fall be in his eyes forever. May God Bless you and your family and add comfort to each and everyone in your family.

Thanks for the wonderful info on SheLion and hubby, MaineRebel, especially for some of us who are fairly new FReepers.

Prayers and thoughts for SheLion, family, and MaineRebel's parents/siblings (if there are any).

May God send the Spirit of peace to them in their time of need.
