It comes to us all.....
 

Mom passed away yesterday. It was not unexpected. 94 years old & 70 lbs. She had been wasting away & not eating for the last 2 -3 months. Her heart just quit working....not a heart attack as such, just quit supplying enough BP and the lights finally went out. Sounds painless to me.........better than most ways out, me thinks.

My older sister & I are all that's left of my family and we get along OK.....not like we were young:eek:. The sharp edges have worn off both of us.

Gonna have to sell the homestead in Kingston, WA. 10 wooded acres with a small Cedar house. If I were 20 years younger, I'd be on it like flies on horse****.:D

My heartfelt condolences, JP. :( She sounds like a great lady and a great mama.

First post of yers I've ever seen with no funny-spelled words. 'Nough said.

God speed. My wife and I both were "orphaned" on the same day - New Years Day 2012. My dad and her mom (last surviving parents) passed within 12 hours of each other. It's an odd feeling. Time marches on...

Sorry to hear your Mom passed away, JP. Hugs for you...

So sorry, JP My condolences to your family.

My condolences to you and your sister.

Sorry for your loss, JP. My condolences to you and your sister.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Being orphaned after a lifetime of having an elder is a bit disconcerting. It's like you are suddenly flying solo. I'm glad your sharp edges are gone. They don't serve much purpose inside a family.

My condolences.
RIP Mom.

my condolences.

She had a very long life.
I hope that your memories of her reflect a well lived life.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry to hear, JP. I imagine her being in her 90s she had lots of life stories to tell. Glad you and your sister can support each other during this time. Talk about the nice memories of your mother with her.

Big hugs.

Sorry to hear this JP.

JP,

Heartfelt condolences from one whose feet stepped onto this path 13 years ago this month.

I know what you mean about the 'sharp edges'. I fought with the sister closest to me until she moved away, then suddenly I realized she was my favorite.
I'm glad you can be there for each other and that you had time to prepare for this.

Best
Les

Life is full of sweet sorrows. Sorry for your loss. Enjoy the memories.

Bummer JP.....at least has peace now.

Sorry to hear this, JP. Condolences on your loss.

My condolences.
You are right. Death is part of the cycle of life.

Sorry to hear that.
Your mom, you and your sister will be in our prayers tonight.

Thanks guys. This group makes some of life's bumps in the road a bit softer.

Sammy:

I understand exactly JP . You have my sympathy. Lost my mother last year 94 yo. Have an older sister still and both my parents were only children. Sorry to hear about your Mother....time heals somewhat but never completely.

Sorry for your loss, JP. My condolences to you and your sister.

My condolences to you JP and your family...RIP

May you and all of the mourners of Zion find comfort. May her memory be a blessing.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear J.P. 94 years is a great run and she's in a better place. My condolences.

Sorry to hear... :(

Very sorry, J.P.

My condolences and aloha coming your way J P. You seem to have a good handle on this challenging part of life! Glad you and Sis can support each other in this time.

Aloha Richard

So sorry for your loss, 94 was a good run.

My Mom is pushing 90 and in a assisted living place, can't walk about 90 lbs now.

My brother just informed me this morning that his son passed away this morning, he was 44, died of liver failure.

My condolences as well.

I'm sorry about your mother but delighted that the rounded aspects of both your lives will help put your Mother in quiet perspective.

I'm batting .500 with my two older Sisters.

Dude - sorry about your Mom :(

Any info on the land ?

Sure, here's a pic......"Shady grove, my little love, shady grove I know........'
Name that group.:D.
It's tough to take a pic of 10 acres. It's FS but not listed as yet.
Raw land up that way is going for about $15K per acre. This plot can't be sub-divided. ......

Sorry for your loss, JP -- wishing you all the best. Went through this w/my mom last year. Sounds like you had time to make the most/make the best of the time you had with your mom before she passed; good for you.

One silver lining for us is my brother and I became much closer as we cared for mom the last year or so before she passed, and working through her estate afterward. All the sibling baggage that had appeared to be a bigger deal previously became pretty much insignificant as we rallied to her support and care. I think that made mom really happy, too.

My sincerest wishes that you're able to build and sustain a closer bond with your sister, and to remember your mom with the greatest love and fondness.

Sorry for the loss of your mom.

Condolences JP. May she rest in Peace.

P.S. Where in Kingston is the property ? I'm north of down town on Wolmere Ln.
