Thank you all who have supported me these few months during my mother"s decline.

My mom, 89 1/2 years old passed peacefully today at 3:30 pm (exactly the time God let me dream months ago.)

She was a fashionista, and I'm sure her white robe has all the appropriate bling on it. And, finally, she will get dad to dance with her!

With love,
Jean

Take care xxx

It sounds like it was as peaceful as possible. I think that is so important! I am so glad that her last moments were easy.

Thoughts and prayers for those left behind.

I love how you said her robes will have plenty of bling. I picture my mom running up to your mom upon arrival and saying, "WHERE did you get your robes???"

I am glad she is at peace now, and you seem to be coping well. Its never easy to be the one left behind, but your faith is strong and I'm sure you are only thinking of her at peace, and remembering good times.

Take care, Sky. HuGs HuGs HuGs HuGs.
