Bill and I are in Memphis with his mother. She is doing very poorly and we will be out of pocket for at least a week. Please keep her in your prayers and Bill as he watches his mother in what may be leading to her last days. :tears:

Watching this play out again is crushing to the soul. Having just lost my Aunt in November this is far too soon for me to be going on this journey again. I know God does not give us anything we can't handle but I do not feel I'm ready for this again. :(

My thoughts and codolences during this trying time. I lost my mother, my grandmother, and my favorite uncle in the space of ten days last year. and a tornado destroyed my home town during that same 10 day period disrupting 2 of the 3 funerals. It was an extremely difficuly period for me and my entire family. I still miss them. Especially, my mother.

When I go home and see all the devastation that still hasn't been repaired I am reminded of those horrible two weeks. My mother lived there all her life and I'm glad she didn't get to see what the storm did her home town. It would have broken her heart. But the town is rebuilding just as I am rebuilding. We'll never be quite the same but we will move on, the Sun will come up tomorrow, the hyacinths will start poking their heads out of the ground as winter warms to spring and life with all it's wonders will continue, but just a little more empty without them

I wish you and your family peace.

My very best wishes for Bill and for you by his side. I went through this with both my parents some years ago and it wasn't a pleasant experience. But life goes on and I got over it. I'm thinking of you both.

Gosh, it certainly has been a difficult year for both families. :tears: As we join as friends and neighbors to pray that Strength and Grace are bestowed on those struggling with life's trials...

...I know many of us would also wish to thank you and Bill for the chance to help share your burdens, as a way of showing our gratitude and support. You occupy a special place in our lives and hearts; we hope knowing this in some way fortifies you as well. God Bless. :angel2:

Grim Reefer...how did you ever survive 3 deaths and the loss of your home in one year let alone less than 2 weeks? I can't fathom being able to do that.
