Marianne

Thank you so much for all the good thoughts, prayers and songs; they helped and we appreciate them.

Mike’s Mom passed at approximately 1:45a this morning.

Two things come to mind… that she was always very kind to me and that she was incredibly lucky to have a loving family… which she told me every time we talked.

She finally went when they left the room…

Picture from their reunion in February:

See you on the other side, Mom.

    I’m glad to know that she found peace and that she shared her love of her family with so many. Thoughts are with you and Mike (and the Princesses).

    I’m so sorry for your loss, and slightly, joyously amused at the idea of her waiting for solitude to cross that River undistracted. She must have had another Companion waiting to greet her.

    My brother, the priest who has presided over all five of the funerals in the last 3.5 years, once described the journey as a long goodbye at the shore; we wave goodbye as the vessel sails toward the horizon. But the heavenly host is on the other side of the ocean, waiting, and then waving wildly, smiling! as they see the ship crossing into view.

    May we all have a good crossing over.

      They were right; she needed to be alone to go! The nurses also suggested leaving the room, even though she had been in a coma for two days.

      I picture her reunited with family and friends. And yes, joyous. It does ease the pain of her loss here, but like you wrote… may we all have a good crossing.

      Thanks, Joan!

    Even when expected, it’s always hard to lose a loved one. My condolences.

    Eternal life grant unto her, O Lord, and may Your perpetual light shine upon her.

    I’m so sorry. My condolences to both of you and especially Mike…I hope she’s found peacee, and that you all do as well…

    My condolences to you and Mike, and to the rest of your family as well. Mrs. Who has kept me up on what was happening, but still ‘too close to home’ – I find it’s still difficult at times, even four years after I walked with my mother to that shore… God Bless you – may you all find God’s Peace in the wake of your loss.
