|
Well, not much I can say, but today is a very sad day for us.
We were getting ready to visit my Mother in Law at a transitional Nursing Home when they rang to say she had passed away, at 99 yrs and 29 days. We were about 45 minutes too late visiting. We were lucky that we got to celebrate her 99th birthday with her on September 27 when she was in good spirits.
This lady was amazing…every bit as much a Mother to me as my own Mum…she will be sadly missed, not only by the family and extended family (four Grand Daughters, eight Great Grandchildren and three Great Great Grandchildren), but especially by my wife Patricia and myself. I think this one hit me harder than when my own parents and a younger brother passed.
Rest In Peace Gwen…you were a beautiful soul and had a great life. You are sadly missed by all.

Condolences, loosing loved ones is always so rough. 99 years is a mighty remarkable age though.

So sorry to hear this Vince. My condolences to your family.
She did have a good innings like my Mum.
