The Inevitable

We did our best to inform people as quickly as possible today, but chances are we didn't get to everyone, so for those who were not aware, Mom passed away today around 1 PM. She went quietly in her sleep, and as Dick and Beth could attest (they visited her a couple hours before it happened), she was looking more peaceful than she has in months.

There are no services planned (at Mom and Dad's request) and Mom will be cremated, but the sisters are putting together a photo and memory book that will presented at some point down the road. For those interested in attending, I will let you know as soon as something is planned.

This is hardly the way I wanted things to go for Mom, but at least she's no longer in pain and can finally rest.

Auntie Jeannie was a powerful force in the world for as long as she was here. She always did things her way -even in her death. She showed grace and determination until the very end. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tasha, and my dear Uncle Bill. I love you cousin.
