Mother In Law Is Gone.

V-Tail

Yesterday, around noon. Cancer.

She was 96. She left behind two daughters -- my wife and my wife's sister, and another daughter by second marriage, my wife's half sister.

I hope that she is at peace, and I have sent prayers for those she left behind.

Yes, this is something that crosses my mind every day. I'll be 82 in January.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

I'm sorry for your loss. 96 is a solid age though. I hope to live that long!

Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.

prayers for your loss. You will be 82 in January. I will be 83 in December so I can feel time is getting short.

My deepest sympathy. My mom only lived to 88, but I thought that was a full life--96 is extraordinary, even these days. My prayers for the family. (I'll be 81 in December.)

Sorry to hear that V-Tail. I hope that she’s in peace.

Did she like flying in your Bonanza?
