OT: Ben's mother passed away...

Many of you know that this has been a year filled with losses for our family. Ben's mother, Margie Cumbo, passed away peacefully yesterday morning at 5:32am pst. It has been a difficult trip with a great deal of time spent at the hospital. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to come be with Margie and our family during this difficult time. She was able to recognize us and was glad to see us. As Ben said, the last thing she said to him, was 'Love you' and now she is free. As some of you may know this is the third death this year; we lost Ben's father in February and my mother in March of this year. We will be making funeral arrangements today and then returning home with heavy hearts.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss Barbara!  :(  You have gone through so very much this year.  I hope next year is a better year for you and your family. Hugs 

Tina,

Thank you. I too hope that 2011 will be a kinder, gentler year.

HI Barb,

I'm so sorry to hear this,  Thankfully, you and Ben got to see her and be with her during her last days on this earth. 

You and Ben will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
