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.

Prayers up, of course. The journey is painful and wrenching, but the ending is in the lap of the Lord.

I'm so sorry for your loss and join with others here in prayer, lifting you and the loved ones up to God for His blessing and guidance as you deal with her homegoing.

I also join in prayer for your sister and her husband.

May your mom's soul and all of the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. May she enjoy the Beatific Vision and be at peace with God.

Prayers for you and your sister and her husband in this time of trial.

How is your health coming along? God bless you and yours, old friend!

doing okay, just had a nuclear stress test, all clear :)
everything hurts, though, and nothing works :)

Thank you all, the ceremony was done quite well, we had a Navy officer and woman enlisted present and the Marine Corps league do a rifle salute

Good old Mom :)
