By the way I received this freep mail from Cyberant, sad in a way but in a sense I feel the tone of her message is also conveying a blessed release - similar to how I felt about my mother.

Please let the people of the "Dose" know that my mom passed away Sunday morning (7/30). She had been doing poorly for a couple of weeks, and her pneumonia and UTI just didn't seem to be responding to medication. For several days she had not been eating or drinking anything, and she was struggling to breathe. Aside from the antibiotics, they were giving her morphine to keep her comfortable, and she passed away while I was on my way to visit her (right after church).
Several of the nursing staff said they had prayed with her earlier in the morning.
I am confident that she is in a much better place, singing and laughing and enjoying herself - able to remember all her family again, and be with her husband. At 93, she has had a great life and been loved by a lot of people""""
Thanks for passing that sad news on to the rest of us, Snugs!
How are you doing...and your Dad?
You've had a rough time of late. May God give you His comfort to get you through the coming days.
And remember, for a Christian, our greetings outnumber our partings by one!
CyberAnt - Prayers of comfort are on their way to you and your family. Thank goodness you know that she is in a better place, that she will always there for you to talk to, and that she loves you very much.
God Bless You and Your Family
BIG hugs, my friend!
