This Christmas has not been the Christmas of past years. My wonderful Mother-in-Law just passed away here in our home after having been in hospice for 8 days.

Frances was born before WW1 ended and her husband who passed 10 years ago crossed the beaches at Normandy. Mom has lived with us for the last 10 years cause I ask her if she would like to come to Alaska. She did and we had many wonderful times hauling her around and showing her Alaska and just this past summer Mom hit the road with Amie and her sister Mariea for RVing around Alaska.

Mom was 95+ and one of those old school women. Well I guess enough said.

We love you Mom

Russ & Amie, Mariea and varmints
 
Very sorry for your loss my friend. Cherish the wonderful memories and times spent with her. As long as she is in your heart she is never really gone.

Sorry for your loss Bro. Sounds like you have some great memories of your time together. I think it's great you had ten years with her, and she died at home instead of a hospital.
 
Sorry for the loss my friend, prayers and condolences go out to you and your family.
 
Russ,

I am sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is not easy. God bless you, Amie and Mariea.

Russ, Amie and Mariea,

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm afraid we're about to lose another of the "Greatest Generation" as my 97yo Grandfather is very near to taking the eternal journey. Too many of our elders are at the age where we won't be able to "hear" and learn from their words of wisdom. I'm not looking forward to hearing the news.

I hope your Mother in law had a wonderful life, saw beautiful things and shared some of her wisdom with you all. I already KNOW she had a wonderful family with her in the end. She is in our thoughts and my sincerest condolences to you all.

My Best to You and Yours,

Mike
 
Russ,

Our prayers are with your precious Family; I am blessed to also have a wonderfully gracious Mother-in-law, could not imaging losing her.
Psalm 23 has been an exceptional comfort to me in dark days.
Thanks for sharing with us.

My sincere condolences Russ. We are going to visit my MIL soon; she is fighting breast cancer, having already undergone a single mastectomy. We have to cherish our elders while we still have them around. As was said earlier, cherish the fond memories.
 
Sorry to hear this Russ. My deepest sympathy to you and yours. I'll say some prayers for her and your family.
 
Sorry for your loss, she sounds like the kind of woman who people were lucky to know with many stories to tell.
