: : : : I lost my Dad when I was 17. I know the pain very well. I've lived with it most of my life. Here's a note received from Jo late last night. I am taking the liberty of posting it here. Forgive me if that's the wrong thing to do. I think Jo, if she's not already contacted you, would want you to know ...

: : : : Finally, a few minutes to spare, and to tell you our mom died late Saturday
: : : : night, at home, with her daughters, oldest granddaughter (who is an RN)and
: : : : her honorary "son" who flew over from Ireland when he was told the news. My
: : : : dad couldn't handle it too well and had removed himself from the room and
: : : : went off to bed; as it was past 11pm. At 89, his bedtime is way before that.
: : : : Anyway, I would like to think my mom was in no pain; I hope she wasn't. I
: : : : know she's in a better place now. Her rosary is tomorrow night; her funeral
: : : : is Thursday. Maybe by Friday, I'll be able to get some sleep......
: : : : Thanks for mentioning it on the board. I wasn't going to; as I don't think
: : : : anyone really wants it to be a bulletin board; but it has been nice for all
: : : : of the folks who have emailed me. (I wondered how all of these people
: : : : knew....and finally I got the time to check the board....)(Good update, by
: : : : the way. Thanks.)
: : : : Thanks also for the good thoughts and prayers.
: : : : More about things later; got three sets of pants to hem...
