It is with great sadness that I ping you to the latest update from ZM's grandson. As you can see, Joan passed away yesterday afternoon. To her family: All of the people here today share your love for your grandmother. We cannot comprehend your loss. We mourn the passing of Joan, a kind and gentle soul who brought us lots of insight, and lots and lots of laughs. She had many, many FRiends here. Her artistry and plain old Texas common sense was a joy. I'll miss her very much. We pray, we hope, we call when a friend is desperately ill. We can only be spectators - and pray for her and your grandfather, Tom. One thing for sure, I'll never be able to look at bluebells without thinking of her. God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. On behalf of all of us, may He bring you comfort and courage.
Mod, please change the heading for update at this post.

2Cr 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Oh...how sad....I am sorry to hear this.
Joan was one of the first people on FR to freepmail me..and become my friend.
I remember her telling me when she started feeling bad...acting like she was just anxious to shake it off...and always posting things to cheer me or other freepers up.
Dear sweet Joan...you are home with God...and I am so very grateful to have known you.
Joan's family...Zac, you had a great Mom...and I pray that God brings you all the comfort and strength you need.

Prayers up again for Joan and Family.
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

We give them back to thee, dear Lord, who gavest them to us;
Yet as thou dost not lose them in giving, so we have not lost them by their return.
Not as the world giveth, givest thou, O Lover of Souls.
What thou gavest, thou takest not away, For what is thine is ours also if we are thine.
And Life is eternal and Love is immortal, and death is only an horizon,
and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further;
Cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly;
Draw us closer to thyself so that we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones who are with thee.
And while thou dost prepare a place for us, prepare us also for that happy place,
that where thou art we may be also for evermore.
Prayer used by Fr Bede Jarrett, O.P.

Peacefully in her sleep was how my mother passed, having just reaffirmed how happy she was to have had us. ZAC'S MOM left seeds of wisdom and perception here which are
open-ended.
