My Story

Married my father in 1956 and along I came 10 months later. Mom loved her grandkids to no end and also loved to shop shop and shop more. In 1999 she was diagnosed with lung cancer and had 2/3 of her lung removed that December. She was clean 6 months later, but it the cancer returned in her liver the following year. I don't think I could have been as brave as my mother during her last 18 months of life.

I was happy that I could take care of her for that time. I had just been laid off from my job a month after she had her surgery and was with her the whole time. I remember the day she passed on....we knew it was coming at any moment and I my son was at my home so I told mom to hang on I'll be right back with him. I got about a mile from the house and had the strongest urge to look at the clock....it was 5:31pm on August 29, 2001. I remember crying all the way to my house and when I got there I called to see how she was doing and my brother told me she had passed over. Her official time of death is 5:31pm.

My mom was my best friend and worst enemy.
