Thanks everyone!!

Mom is home now, we got her all settled in and comfy. The nurse and her new health aid are comming tomorrow to go over all her meds and stuff, the aid will come every other day to bath her and whatever else she needs.
I have a brother that lives with her, but he is the youngest and not to stable (LOL) so me and my other 2 brothers (there sare 4 of us) are going to stay there on different nights to give him some rest. I went and got a baby moniter tonight so it will be a bit easy when she is sleeping as she complains that we keep coming in to ck on her, now we can hear all in the other room.

I also called and talked to the funeral home and told them what we needed, I called my Uncle in NY and he talked to the cematery about getting her mother and fathers plot opened (as she wants to be with them) up for her. I still have to go and get a small stone to be put by her spot as there is no room on the family stone for her info.
So I have about 90% of things done, it sucks but I am about the only one that can handle it right now.

By chance are you using , Chapman, Cole & Gleason? (no relation) They were wonderful when we did my Mom and Dad there.

And yes, beautiful card, wouldn't want to admit that it brought a tear to my eye.

Give it to her soon if you haven't already.

You and your family are in my prayers, MJ. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, fears and feelings. It's inspiring, and certainly had an effect on me. I hope this community can help you through these difficult times.

When my mom passed in '08, we picked her ashes up from the crematorium and selected an urn on our own to hold most of the ashes...the rest we literally tossed to a mild breeze on a beach that had become a favorite of hers for years before she became so disabled she couldn't go any more...my sister, my wife and I and mom's 4 grandchildren...strongly emotional event for us...but she'll be on that beach forever...
