My Mom passed away

I'm very sorry to hear that. My condolences.
I still frequently think of my own Mom who passed in 2011, and every time I do, I smile. It sounds like you may as well.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11

...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

A few hours ago my Mother passed away at the age of 85. She was the mother of 3 boys, moved around as a Navy wife and did a hell of a job raising us with my Dad. She laughed and smiled alot with a great sense of humor and strike a conversation with anyone.
She was raised in Maine by her Mother with an older and younger sister after her husband was killed as a firefighter when an Armory was burning and he was killed when an explosion put a wall down upon him. She was raised by her Mother for the better part of her life after being widowed.
Mom just rejoined my Dad who passed 5 years ago. I find solace in the fact they are back together and her recent pain is gone and they are with God.

Best to health to my friends here.

I'm very sorry for your loss. We have/had a LOT in common. My Mom passed recently, she was a Navy wife and mother to three boys (I'm the middle) and my Father passed 5 years ago. But my parents were younger.

Sorry you lost your mom. Probably difficult to bring friends and family together at this time, and I’m sure that makes it even more difficult.

Mothers are hard to lose, though my Mom passed some time ago even today I often think a lot about her and the great memories. My sincerest condolences, she will be missed, and sounded like a wonderful Mother.
