Betty, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. It's been a rough month since I lost my mother, even though I know she was fortunate to go the way she did. It's particularly difficult for you to lose her with Mother's Day upon us. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincere Sympathy

So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. No matter how old we are when we lose our parents it is still a huge loss. You have my deepest sympathy. May your Mom rest in peace.

Betty - Sorry to hear your news. Even though it was expected, it still doesn't diminish the loss. Your Mom's free of pain and in a better place. Chris

 

[Ross]

Our prayers and condolences also. We often think were ready for this type of thing, but in reality, it still cuts like a knife when it happens. We are never ready no matter how badly we try to tell ourselves that we are.

I'm sorry to hear of your Mom passing......I still dream of my Mama and she has been gone 4 years and 6 months.Always happy dreams, like she is part of my life....Daddy has been gone 6 months now...and when the Atlanta Braves starting playing last week. I could not watch..I had to call him everyday and tell him the station and time that they would be playing.He was such a fan... But, I know in my heart that they (Mama and Daddy are together)They were happily married for 65 years when she passed.. Both, went to sleep...with no pain... You will be in my prayers....Bonnie

Daddy has been gone 6 months now...and when the Atlanta Braves starting playing last week. I could not watch..I had to call him everyday and tell him the station and time that they would be playing.He was such a fan...

Aye. This sent chills down my spine.

While Gram was the bigger Cubs fan between her and Gramps, in the last few years that Gramps was with us (you may remember that Gram died in October 2002), whenever I knew the Cubs would be on WGN (superstation) or on FOX or on ESPN such that Gramps would be able to watch them, I always called him to see if he was watching. Nine times out of 10 he'd be "reading a book" or napping or what have you ... and not terribly interested in the game. Yet, it never failed that he'd always "get interested" and when I'd call him after a game ... he'd be right there with "That was a good game" (if they won) or "they just couldn't do it" (if they had lost). So, my dear Granbonny, I was right there with you on Opening Day ... not very much interested ... since Gramps died this past December. Heh...and goodness knows I'm a huge Cubs fan ... he he.

Gram and Gramps were married in March 1941 ... so this past March was their 65th wedding anniversary ... and, the way I see it, they celebrated together for the first time in a few years.

So sorry

So sorry

You have my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. My mom also had Parkinson's but died from a brain tumor 4 months ago 3 wks after diagnosis. I am dreading Mother's Day. I will be thinking of you as well. I have been told that it gets easier but I am not sure yet that it is true. Take care.

Betty,

So sorry to hear of your loss. I know it is never easy even when expected. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

 

[LadyBlue]

I'm so sorry for your great loss, even if expected, it doesn't make it any easier.

Betty,

This brings back thoughts of my mother's final month. She never made it out of the hospital to hospice, but like your mom, she had no desire to prolong the event. She simply decided when she was ready to go, and that was that. Fortunately, my wife and I were there with her to hold her as she passed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and mom.
