Mom passed away peacefully this morning and went to hang out with Lauren, Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa. I sent her off with a bunch of love and a wish to give them all big ass hugs when she sees them.

Thank you ALL who have been so loving in thought and spirit as I was going through this. I feel well loved and supported and I know I had angels helping me with that. :)

I’m off to shower and make plans for the services. As the official eulogy writer in the family, I got stuff to do! She was dictating it to me last night so I need to check lyrics and make sure I name all those who mattered so very much to her (but do I have to say George W. Bush?? AACK!)

    Hi Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Donna called me early this morning and then I called my Mom. I have alot of fond memories of your Mother – she was always so kind to me. I work with someone named Frank Ayd…he used to live mext door to your Grandparents and your Mom used to babysit for him. We just put it all together about a month ago. He sends his best. Take care of yourself; you’ve had a hard year to say the least. God bless you. Love, Mary Anne (and Greg and Jack too)
