Mom
On February 3, 2017, at 3:30 in the morning, my Mom peacefully left this world. A few hours before she passed, several family members gathered at her apartment, surrounding her with our love, and preparing our hearts for the loss we knew was close at hand.
She loved this blanket.
In Mom’s final hours, she was covered with a special blanket she had received as a gift for her 91st birthday. The blanket held pictures of over 60 family members and descendents, a legacy of love carried on in this and future generations. Family was truly her greatest joy and pride.
She was the perfect definition of unconditional love, and even when I strayed she never let me out of her heart. I will miss her very much.
Your mom must have been an amazing woman to be surrounded by so much love at the end. Wishing peace for you and your family.
You are so lucky to have had such an exceptional, loving Mom. And she was so lucky to have all you kids, who were there for her, loving her and caring for her until she passed. This is truly a time to be thankful for family. I’m thinking of you all, and praying for your Mom.
