Pete,

What sad news! Sorry but I just got back on the board after two days.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family in this time of grief. Your mother sounded like a great lady, and in times like this the good memories are what keep us going!

Take care.

Thanks again, everyone.

My mother was an avid Yankees fan. Every year when she had a difficult winter I would say if she lasted until baseball season she would last the year. Alas, this was the year she didn't make it.

She was also an avid reader and crossword puzzler. I'm convinced her active mind willed her body to surivive against so many odds as long as it did. She leaves behind her husanand of 64 years, eight of nine surviving children and their various significant others, fifteen grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. We're all thankful we had her as long as we did. We should all be so lucky.

I am so sorry to read of your mother's death. My wife and I are orphans now--they have all died. It does make you think--when are we going to go?
Glad you are back. She sounds like quite a lady.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words and support.

Magilla, let me add my voice, and join everyone in offering heartfelt sympathy. My own parents are still very much around -- circling 80 years -- but I've gone through the loss of both my wife's parents. It's nothing but heartache, which can be offset only by the passage of time and fond memories. Keep hold of the second, till the first provides relief.

My deepest condolences. My grandmother had a stroke five years ago, and is still chugging along...sounds very much like your mother. I know how difficult and wonderful those times with her can be, and hope that you know have memory after memory to cherish of your time with her. Welcome back.
