To all my board-buddiesL
iBake, Martha, Deb, Lil Deb, Pam, Polina, Chris,Dorri, and many more I've come to know but too many to keep writing out here. My thanks for the towels, love, and support you shared with me over these few weeks.

Just wanted to share that my mother passed away at 1:10 A.M. today and has been allowed eternal peace with my Lord and others who passed before her. -- while this seems to have come as a surprise to my sister, it was something, as you all know, that we were expecting.

At least this dreaded disease has one less person to pull through the circus rings.

Keep everyone in each others thoughts and prayers. This horror that brought us all together is one of the presents God gave me when I use to ask him "why". I guess one of the reasons was "to meet and talk with others who are on the same road".

Its been a 15+ year long battle but at least her 'bad' wasn't until the last year or two but that felt like it was forever and tended to rob us of any memories we had of better times.

As the days progress, I know the better times memories wll start to come up and it will help us hopefully forget the horror of the last year. Kinda like when you had a baby and they place it in your arms after you suffered through 30+ hours of hard labor. You seem to forget all the pain the moment they place that baby in your arms and you stare into their faces.

One other blessing in all this -- we don't have to deal with the U.S. crap with medicaid, hospice, etc. Thank God and Amen. They've been a real bear to deal with and they know they do it when people are under the most stress

God Bless my Sister and all the caregivers for what you do, including those in facilities.

Love
Your CaringSister54
