My Mother passed away last night at 9pm

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.

I’m sure you find comfort in your mother’s peaceful passing, and the privilege of being with her. It’s tough that after taking care of both your parents, Carol now faces losing her husband so young, the loss in quite another way. Prayers for you all.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her. By the mercy of God, may she rest in peace.

My condolences to you and your family, and may God's peace and strength be with you all.

My prayers to you and yours; lost my mom last year.
Comforting to know though that she still takes note of every time I screw up.

Please keep my sister in your prayers, her husband now has a cerebral vascular degeneration, meaning dementia has set in at age 67.

Carol took care of both Mom and Dad the most, living closer than the other sisters, and now her husband is going through it, too, so, please keep her in your prayers.

I am so sorry to learn this sad news about your sister Carol, and her husband. Extra prayers for both of them.

Pinging some FRiends to this thread... Please see above: *Urgent Prayer Request*
