Harriett Louise Croft Bancroft passed away at 2100 hours, May 24, 2015. She died peacefully and at rest My mother was born Oct 15, 1924 in Worcestor, Massachusetts. Her mom was named Ethel Fudge Croft, her dad Morrell Croft. Both were originally from Canada. Her mom's family came from Ireland in the mid 1800's, her Dad's family came from Holland in the 1600's on a ship named THE ANN and they spelled their name KRAFT then smile emoticon I was with her alone when she passed. My sister Jeannie was on the phone saying goodbye to her and she told me to find a Church hymn to sing to her, so I looked in my Bible for the church bulletin to find the songs we sang last Sunday or Wenesday, when I noticed she stopped breathing. It was almost 10 seconds after Jeannie hung up and Mom stopped breathing. She was in no pain, she went softly.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

RaceBannon, I am sorry to hear of your loss of your mom. Remember in the midst of your grief and bereavement what she has gained.

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."
Psalm 116:15

"“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted… “
Matthew 5:4

Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalms 61:1-2

Cordially,

"Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”

Amen.

I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you every good memory you have of her.

Carol sounds like a great sister. Her loss and task ahead is staggering. I hope you can help in some way.

Gentle (((((hugs))))) to you Race. Your dear Mother is gone in body, but her spirit is still with you. Her soul lives on.

May I ask Carol’s husbands name? I’d like my daily prayers for them to be more personable. Thank you.

Thank you everyone
We’ve been waiting a long time for this
I am glad I was able to pray with her and sing to her
She did squeeze my hand a few times but never showed facial recognition or words
I have hope I will see her again
:)
