My dear sweet Mother
On Saturday we got the message that my dearest Mother had taken a stroke so we drove down to be with her.
Sadly she passed away peacefully on Monday evening and it was so lovely that we were all able to gather around her bedside for her last days.
We were so pleased to have gone down to visit her two weeks earlier and to be with her and see her beautiful face and smile.
We will love her always and miss our loving and caring Mother, Grandma and Great-Grandmother.
The funeral will be tomorrow and would be thankful for your loving thoughts for our family.
Sending hugs
Carolyn

ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteHow sad to find this message here...
But with all the sadness, it sure was a blessing that all of you could gather and escort her on her very last journey of life.
Keeping you and your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers.
You at least will forever have fond memories in your mind from the last visit, two weeks prior to her going to heaven.
It was also the evening that I came home from the hospital around 19:30...
