May she rest in awesome and incredible, unimaginable peace Tom. A land of no more tears, a place of friends and family.

May you and your loved ones, family and friends, get through this time of seeing a loved one off.

Tom

I am sorry to hear this news. I recently posted similar news about my father-in-law, who passed last Tuesday morning.

You Mom is now at peace, free from pain, free from suffering.

It is those of us who are left behind who are hurting, and who will hurt for a while at the loss of someone near and dear.

I shall hold Your family and Mother in my Prayers, I am as all very sorry to hear this also..

That's too bad Tom. Comfort each other. I find the great thing about be a believer is that we KNOW our departed ones are in a much better place. Still, we miss them. :salute:

My condolences and prayers to you and your family, Tom.

So sorry to hear that Tom. It is so hard to lose a parent. She is at peace now though.

Hey Tom,
I lost my father first some years ago which was quite hard to deal with. The grief came over me in tidal waves. However,...my cousin said something simply to me that made all the difference. "It happens to be Uncle Alton's time to go." How true. Hope this brings a bit of comfort. Also,...even though you mom has passed,....Milton S. stated it so well how a loving parent can make a profound impact on one's life.
Best Regards,
-Brad

A Novena of Masses will be offered for your Mom.

It will be hardest for the brother who didn't make it in time. Be certain to give him lots of support.

I've had the dubious honor of having outlived all of my (close) relatives. Frankly it stinks. All I can do now is to continue to honor their memory by living the rest of my own life as they had expected of me.

Tom, I am truly sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I lost mine a few years ago. I know there's not much I can say to help ease the pain, but what I will offer is that it helped me to know that Moms get a special place in Heaven. I will offer prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

God Bless,
Robert
