Mom passed away this morning.... I thank each of you for your thoughtfulness and kind words. My family has been here all day and we have been laughing and telling 'mema stories' as she was one of a kind special lady....I am so proud of my kids and family, this sad time brings us closer and I know she would approve. Again....thank you. Kady, your words made me reflect back to when my father-in-law passed. It was sudden and certainly a shock to us all, but your words of telling stories about your "mema" made me recall how we met with the Cantor to talk about my late father-in-law. The four of us told stories for an hour, to let the Cantor know about just what a fine man Ed was and what a great life he had. It was like therapy for us. So while there was sadness for sure, there was the realization that he lived a great life, had many friends and a family who loved him dearly. We should all be so fortunate. I wrote a long letter to my grandkids, who were too young to know him. I read it at the gravesite as a form of eulogy to the man I'd known for over 40 years. I'm sorry that you and your family has experienced this loss and hope that the days and weeks ahead bring healing in the form of good memories.

So sorry for your loss, Kady. It is so hard when your Mom dies. I'm glad you were all reminiscing about her and laughing. She must have been a great mother.

My 97 year old mother has had a massive stroke, she is in ICU in a hospital 50 miles from here. Life support was removed from her yesterday and my family are now in the process of looking at hospice. My brother and I are taking turns staying with her....I've known it was coming and I've tried to prepare for this but it is still a jolt. So very sorry! Even when it's expected it is still very difficult. My sincere condolences. Hugs.

Yes....my mom was a great person....tough as nails, old school...she was the glue of this family with all her quirky ways and even though she would tick us off at times, we all were better people because of her.
A small 'mema story'....my 16 year old great granddaughter, Kayla, was at mom's house and mom gets out the blood pressure gauge and proceeds to teach her how to use it....and then she tells Kayla that she wants her to come into my room after I go to sleep and take my BP and call her (mema) and tell her what it is.
Kayla asked her mother what she should tell mema ...her mother says...You tell her you will do it...lol...anyway there are enough stories to keep us laughing and crying for years.
Just would like to say...there are some very nice people on this forum that have a great way of expressing your empathy and I appreciate you.

17 years ago.. I held my mom in my arms as she died.. But she will always live on in my heart as there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her, or recall a "mom" story. Your mom will live on also Kady..
