Mom. I'm so grateful you were my mom. You showed me compassion for others. Independence for myself. Stand up for my beliefs and rights. You opened your home and heart to help others. You were much loved by whomever came into your life. You will be missed but we will love you forever.

Auntie Doe, you will be missed. You were always a Mother figure to me. You opened up your home for me to have my wedding in 2005, something I'll never forget. You always made me smile. Not to mention you made the best Carrots around :) Say Hi to Uncle Jock for me. Till we meet again.

Aunt Doreen will be missed by all she was a great person her memory will live on in all of us she has left a mark on all of us even though some of us haven’t been always in her life she had that way of leaving a little piece of her in everyone’s heart that will never go away and when you think of her you always remember that little piece of happiness that she most gracefully gave you without you even knowing to carry with you everyday to know that to her you were special to her too Love you aunt Doreen. All my thoughts, prayers and love go out to all her kids and grandkids I know it is hard right now but remember that piece and she will always be there with her warm smile and love to see you through it love you all

With sympathy on the passing of a special Mother and Grandma

Here's a coincidence for you. ..
After Mom's passing at 11.45 am Nov 18 later in the day at home I sign on to work to check emails and an appointment reminder pops up.....

Anniversary Reminder Mom's Heart Surgery Nov 18th 1994. I amended the reminder: and Moms Passing Nov 18 2020.

Mom lived another 26 years from that day.

She went to St . Mikes for a stress test on Nov 18.
Note;
Mom suffered a massive heart attack 3 months previous on Aug 28th (@Jerry 40th surprise birthday ). That's another story.
They noticed mom had a single drop by drop of blood to her heart. They rushed her to emergency heart surgery. 3 valve replacement.

I told mom of the day this Nov 18. Seemed a good day to go to her.

Mom lived on her own terms.
