It was a sad day for our family today. My Mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly this morning.
She was 89 years old and lately she said she was feeling tired and ready to be done on this earth. It is actually a huge blessing because she lived in her own home until now and we did not have to make any of those tough decisions regarding her failing health. I am happy for her but quite sad for us as she was the cornerstone of our family and we'll miss her terribly.
She lived a few hours from me so we saw her fairly often and I just spent a long weekend with her over Mother's Day - how great is that!!?
Here's a SB page I made many years ago using my very favorite pictures of her in her beautiful garden. I love that happy picture and will cherish it even more now.

So sorry for your loss. Praying that you and your family will be comforted in this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you as I lost my father 2 1/2 years ago all of a sudden from a massive heart attack. I had taken my 2 youngest boys the weekend before to see them and as we said our see ya laters Sunday afternoon we never thought that would be the last time we would get to see him alive. You always hate for them to die but I always tell my boys that it makes us strive harder to work toward heaven our home so we will see him again! :) Hugs to you!
