For those of you who were following my Mom story...
To disable ads, please log-in.
I just wanted to let you all know, especially the TD Support Group, that my mom died very quietly today, in her cardiologist's office. Her heart just stopped. We will miss her a lot. I wanted to thank you for all the Mom support you guys gave me over the last year. Much appreciated.
She was a retired speech pathologist and a great adventurer. Her last trip was an opera club trip to Russia. She was a major life lover. She took the last year of constant illness with an incredibly tolerant, pleasant, positive spirit. She was smart. Interested in everything. Funny. We were just about to move her out here to Seattle next week. We would have had fun.Last edited by salsabike; 06-14-2007 at 10:09 PM.

I'm so sorry to hear this ,Salsabike. I will be thinking of you.
Funnily enough, I was just thinking of you this morning as I visited the Bee-eaters, some of whom were eating bees In Real Time

Salsa---I'm so sorry about your loss. I lost my mom to a heart attack in July 2001 and I still miss her. If you need to talk, please pm me. I'll be thinking of you.

Oh, SB, I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Before my mom died, I had tried to move her to a place close to us. It would have been great fun to have her nearby. I will keep you in my prayers...

Salsa, my deepest condolences go out to you and your family right now. I'm so very saddened to hear about your mom- I gather she was quite the incredible woman from all the wonderful things you told us about her.

Sorry to hear of your loss Salsa. It is wonderful to know that you and Ruth had such wonderful, adventurous mom's in your life and I'm sure they are both in a better place so very proud of their amazing daughters!
You're in my prayers...Dar
