My mom passed away on Friday night. She has been battle COPD, congestive heart disease and emphysema since around 1998/1999.

It has really sucked the last couple of years, watching this strong, kind woman simply fade away.

Today we are laying her to rest.

Goodbye mom. :cry:

    She must have been something if she could fight for that long! But it was probably hard to watch.

    My condolences. Keep this in your thoughts: Our memories are the only thing we take with us and leave behind with those we love.

    Sunrise doesn't last all morning
    A cloudburst doesn't last all day
    Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
    Its not always going to be this grey

    All things must pass
    All things must pass away

    Sunset doesn't last all evening
    A mind can blow those clouds away
    After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
    Its not always going to be this grey

    All things must pass
    All things must pass away
    All things must pass
    None of lifes strings can last
    So, I must be on my way
    And face another day

    Now the darkness only stays the night-time
    In the morning it will fade away
    Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
    Its not always going to be this grey

    All things must pass
    All things must pass away
    All things must pass
    All things must pass away

    Sorry for your loss man. God Bless and Godspeed, MOM. She breathes easy now. A preacher once told me, "For every loss we endure, a thousand good things come of it." "Foremost is the reconnecting of family."

    Very sorry to hear it.
    Went through it with my father, and now my mother
    is just about done for. It's very hard to see your parents
    go through that downhill slide.
    She's in a better place now. Remember her fondly.
