My MoM NoVemBer 29th 1927-JuNe 22nd 2011


Hi all I just wanted to stop by and let you know my mom passed away quietly and peacefully at 12:21pm today..It was unexpected as I talked to her on sunday night and all seemed well..but she had developed Pnemonia again and was having a hard time breathing and her heart just gave out on her..I will be gone from Sunday to Sunday..I would appreciate your prayers for a safe journey home and keeping us all sane..I know my mom is in a better place now and is with our Heavenly Father and her son that she hasn't seen in 47 years..so I know she is looking forward to that..She was a trooper with all that she has had to deal with...the loss of her son at the age of 2 (I was 8 months old) 2 kidney transplants, and she just kept fighting..She brought all of us kids back together and thats all she wanted..and I will say I am thankful for my brothers and sisters...Thank you all for your kindness and friendships..you all mean the world to me..:)
