I'm just passing along to everyone that my Mom-in-Law just passed away here at my home today 12-26-2013. She was 95 + years old and born before WW1 ended. Her husband passed 10 years ago and crossed the beached at Normandy. Mom has spent those last 10 years with us and she got to do the Alaska thing after having grown up down in Texas all her life.

She had been on hospice for the last 8 days and finally went peacefully. It's almost as if Mom waited to pass until I could get home and be here with Amie and her sister, still in death she is a craft old gal. Mom is gone now probably chasing Albert with a frying pan and kicking up her heels.

God speed Mom, I couldn't have had a better Mother-In-Law. To use my Aussie Brothers lingo she is "on a walk about". With all our love,

Russ & Amie, Mariea and all out critters.
 
David, Amie, Im am so sorry for your loss. I have no doubt u both went above an beyond in every way possible. I so hope someday to give you two fine folks a big bear hug!! Much love and support from the hoosier state my good friend,

This not so much a loss as a celebration, a life well lived to earn so much love. My own mother is gone just over a year now, 90 years old, and had been fading peacefully, and went in peace. This kind of an end is a blessing from God.

I was very moved with your words. My grandmother was 91 when she also passed on 3 months ago and she was the greatest light that shone in all of our lives, down to her great-grand kids.

I think Esav's thoughts above captures exactly what I was going to post, and personally as a believer, there is certainly no "death" as in what we think of it, but a mere transition to something else. As you said, she's just "on a walk about".
 
Condolences from Concord. Sorry to hear this, but it sounds like she lived quite a life, and she was certainly blessed to have family like yourselves with her at the end.

Lost my own mother-in-law this year as well, so I know the feeling well.

Lost my mother-in-law 6 years ago at the young age of 66. My wife was devastated. She was like a second mom to me as well, so I can understand your grief with yours.

Sounds like she had a full life, and is at peace now. RIP...
 
I offer my sincerest and most heartfelt condolences. Your family will be in our prayers and thoughts this evening, Russ.
