| Prayers for Peace to be with you during this difficult time.
Two things bring me to tears. The unconditional Love of God,the service of the United States Military,past,present,and future.
I would rather meet a slick-sleeve private, than a hollywood star!

| So sorry for your loss, Scuba.

"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 |

As Extraordinary as Everyone Else
| My very sincere condolences. In the back of our minds we all know that there is a very good chance that our parents will leave us in our lifetime but that doesn’t make it any easier. Just take it one day at a time…

Now Serving 7.62
| Hopes that the day will come soon you won’t hurt but rather miss her. Pretty much the same with my mother but strokes and dementia. She got to a point where she couldn’t swallow and had been in a state of whining and moaning as if that was her only way to communicate. Her eyes said take away my misery. Palliative care put her in a state of constant sleep and relief for her and us. It took about 5 days of no food or water or extraordinary measures, as was her wish, and we waited day and night. Finally, one night we stayed until 2am and all decided to go home and get a little sleep. The next morning my dad got there first and kissed her lips. He remarked to her that she was cold and it hit him. He called us to come say our goodbyes. That was 5 1/2 years ago. I miss her and of course have some regrets about spending more time with her but now I try to just be thankful she was in my life for over 50 years. Peace be with you while you grieve and beyond. |

| So sorry for your loss. I know when I lost my mom a few years ago, I was also relieved as I know it was also an end to her suffering. |

A day late, and a dollar short
| May she rest in peace.
