My brother and I both left Sunday a.m. He from Louisiana and I from Texas arriving within 10 minutes of one another on Monday. While she showed slight improvement it was clear that she would not recover and we removed her from life support on Wednesday.
We buried her yesterday on a beautiful sunny afternoon. She is just down the hill from her parents and on the same road from her two baby daughters. I smile when I think that she now has the opportunity to finish raising my sisters. I will miss her.
If you click here you will find some stories that I wrote about her on my blog. She was a great quilting buddy. I always told her I got the best Mother.

Your cute little mom I met when up you were here? Oh I am so sorry. But I am so glad I got to see her beautiful smile that day.
My heart is with you.

Oh, I am so sorry. It is almost a year since my mom passed away, and so I feel your loss. It sounds like you and your mom had a wonderful relationship, and that will be a great comfort to you.
so sorry to hear this, I'm glad you got home before she died - maybe that will comfort you a little.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry to read this. Happy that you got to day goodbye. Every day and especially Mother's Day you can remember her and the Love you have. Prayers for your family!
Oh Swooze... I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother passed away five years ago, and I miss her, but have some wonderful memories and like you, know that I'll see her again. I too believe that she will finish raising the children that died so young. She sounds like a wonderful person and I will pray for comfort for you and your family.
I am so sorry! I understand how you feel. My mother passed away in 1995, and I still miss her.
I'm so sorry. I'm glad you got to see her before she went, but that has to have been one of the hardest decisions ever. My heart goes out to you.
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my mother almost six years ago in a similar way. My Mom and I quilted together and it gives me comfort when I use something from her "stash!"
So sorry for your loss. It will be a year tomorrow that I lost my Mom so know how you are feeling. Huggs.
Swooze, I am so sorry for your loss.

Just now seeing this, so sorry to hear about your Mom, you certainly have had your share of loss in recent times . . . cherish the memories while you quilt - it helps.
