Kendall

[spareparts]

Kendall just had a scheduled scan and it came back all clear. Were are now scheduling her scan once a year, we've come a long way.
It is with great sadness that I must say my mother's battle with cancer is coming to a conclusion. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January of 09, the day my wife finished chemo. They stopped giving her chemo about a month ago and hospice has been called in. She is bed ridden and heavily medicated. I've been back up to Raleigh the past couple of weekends and her condition is worsening. Today my parents are celebrating their 60th anniversary, give them congratulations for 60 years together and pray for them both.

You bring a tear to my eye, I sat by my mothers bed and healed her hand, told her stories and told her Dad was waiting for her on the 1st tee.. it is the hardest thing I have ever done. It will be a year on October 08. I still miss my parents. I am 55 years old, who would have thought.

Spare, having just lost my mom a few months back I know exactly what you are going through. You have to remember to temper the pain of the loss with the realization that she will no longer be in that horrible pain. I know it's a hard thing, but it really helped me get through it, because it's true. Sending continuous prayers for her, you and your family. God bless

my mother passed quietly this afternoon, she is no longer in pain

sorry, lost my mom 5 years ago and my dad 3 years ago, they'd been married 63 years. take care of your dad. after my mom passed, my dad was ok for 5-6 months, then he just lost interest without her and withered away.

I am so sorry Dave, please know that my prayers are with you and your family, and your Mom.
God rest her soul
