Mom passed away this afternoon..... UPDATE & Pics #100

Lut, it occurred to me just now that, although this is a difficult time of year to lose a family member, at least it was well before the holiday.

And picture it - your mom, restored to her own mind and to good health, gets to enjoy Christmas in Heaven!

You are so right, Karen!! Mom went to Heaven now, because she wanted to celebrate Christmas with her beloved eldest son Christian, who died at age 2, 57 years ago!! This happened on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day has since always been a very special day to all of us; from now on it will even be MORE special!
I will miss my mom enourmously, she was such a positive personality, always looking for good things in everybody and everything. There were many tragedies during her married life with our Dad, such as the loss of her firstborn, 3 miscarriages, 1,40m of water in the house during the big flood in Europe in 1953, first shop went broke, and then she got that terrible disease when she in her late 30'ties. But thanks to the loving care of our Dad, she survived it all, never complaining at all. She raised 3 children, and she was so happy with her 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.

Thank you all dear friends for all the prayers and sympathy!! I am truly amazed and so happy to have so many caring friends here on PT

Lut that is a beautiful picture of your mom. I think I see a little of you in her. I am still thinking of you at this time. My dad passed away many years ago on Dec. 15th and my mom stayed with us until the beginning of the New Year. Your dad will need to be with people for a while early on while he takes this all in. Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family from me.
