So I travel back to Fayetteville twice this week. I was leaving this morning when she turned worse, but I had to go back to do stuff at home and for work. I leave again Very Late Thursday or Early Friday.

I just got a call from my brother. The nurse had him move up the doctor meeting to Thursday so it does not look hopeful.

PLease keep us in your thoughts and prayers

Mom passed quickly and peacefully Thursday evening after being removed from support. She had lived with Lupus for 50 years and it was only the last 10 years that saw any major complications. She still had plenty of fight left but her body gave out. The funeral is planned for Monday.

She's now at the Rainbow Bridge with Molly, Meghan, Fala, Danny and Bridey, her Scotties and with the cats, Silver, Sam, Thomasino, Wendell, Rabbi, Ollie, Felix, Maggie, Lucky, Frances, Sunshine I and Sunshine II, Mike, Tillie, and probably a few others I can't remember. She is survived by the three of us and Louie, the tuxie polydactyl, and Fred, the cross-eyed Mackerel.

A call from my brother Thursday morning changed my plans and I had to head back to Fayetteville. I dumped everything back in the car and headed back. I've never packed so fast.

So I'm back in Fayetteville and I find "Interesting" that my own home is snowed in as well as my childhood home. It's never happened in both places when I was away from my current home.

The cats are in a boarding facility (a local store that boards) so they wouldn't be alone and would be warm. I didn't want them turning feral and freezing. For the three of them boarding isn't too much more than a cat-sitter. The owner has them in a huge cage in the open so they get lots of love. Some patrons wanted to adopt them, esp Lady Jane, because they are so precious.

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. It has to be hard to lose a mother. I know it's hard to lose a Dad, I lost mine back in 97, and it still hurts to even think about it.

You and your family will be in my prayers.

I lost my mother 15 years ago, I know how much that hurts!! Whenever I feel sad or miss her, I think of her reuniting with all her furkids that passed before her. How she cried when she lost them! I can just picture the joy on her face when they all ran, swam, or flew to meet her. Know that your beloved mother was met the same way, with absolute joy! :love:

I was so sorry to read about your Mom. My Mom died of lupus back in 1969. Then they had no idea how to treat it...Sounds like she had a BIG welcoming committee at the Bridge!

It is hard to lose your Mother, my Mother passed on in 1991, and everday I wish that she was here to see the Found Cat Hotel.

I am sure that Your Mom is surrounded now by Family and Pets who have gone on ahead and she is in Paradise now.:love:

Thank you all. The funeral service and burial were today, despite the ice and snow. She outlived most of those she knew so it was a sparse turnout but a few from afar and some nice people she had worked with years before came for the visitation, funeral, or burial, or all three.

I met cousins for the first time and shared memories with others not seen in years.

I'm sleepy right now so I'll write more later.

Thank you all for your kind replies. We had Catholic Funeral Mass and the eulogy and other memories were given at the committment. Both were nice services.

I stayed the week with my brother who was feeling a bit lost since he took care of her and lived with her.

Thanks again.

I do hope your brother has some friends...you and he shared the loss of your mom, but he has lost a way of life. Prayers that he adjusts ok over time.

Again, hugs and condolences.
