Well, It's been a very long week.... and still not over. My mother passed away unexpectedly on Sunday due to complications related to her Multiple Sclerosis and the family is gathering in Spokane for her Services that will be held on Saturday. She wanted so despirately to go Home and recieve relief from her physical prison her body had become. Now she is free.
I have been in charge of coordinating all of her services. There are ups and downs emotionally each day. Sunday and Monday were hard, Tuesday was okay, and then yesterday I had to go up to the Adult Family Home where she was and pick up her temple clothing for her dressing. That was really hard. Today has been okay as I am wrapping up details for Saturday. Tomorrow evening we will dress her. That will be difficult and bitter sweet.
A Vitual Memorial book as been created for friends and family to leave thoughts and memories of my mother- here is the address:

Her Obituary was published today as well:

Everyone's thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. I am finding that as I get older, life really is short and wasting away a day in frivolous pursuits is a true tragedy. I will really miss my dearest mother.
