Prayers for Our Family During This Difficult Time




My Mom died this morning around 11 am.

She was surrounded by love as she took her last breath. 
I held her hand, and her four grandchildren stood around her bed.

We hadn’t expected her to pass today, but when we arrived at the nursing home, her caregivers told us she was very close, based on her physical signs.

Her brother had just stepped out to call their sister, who was working her second job, to let her know Mom didn’t have much time left if she wanted to make it back to say goodbye. 

She was gone before he came back in her room.

Mom did not seem to be in any pain, and never regained consciousness.

In her memory, we ask that donations be made to the American Brain Tumor Association.
