My mom passed away today. She had a long fight, with a lot of pain. I hope she finds peace in the hereafter, without more pain. A bunch of us went up to see her at the hospice care center today for Thanksgiving; Dad, sister, aunt, cousins. A few hours later, she just slipped away.

I don't like cremation myself, nor did my parents, when you have a casket it gives family a place to visit you, I guess . I know it really doesn't matter because your soul is in heaven but it just seems to be a place for family to pay respect. [Reply]

Yea, a lot of people agree with you. There are cemeteries all over, showing what they mean to people. [Reply]
Mr Jake, you and all your family are wrapped in our prayers. You will never lose the wonderful memories you have. God bless you and your family. [Reply]
My condolences and prayers out for the loss of your Mother. Just know she rests in peace without pain. The holidays is a rough time but just remember the holidays past to help you cope.
I lost my sis about 5 months ago the my Mother 3 months later. Time heals but not a day goes by that I don't think of memories past. Both per there request was cremation. Mom had terrible claustafobia and did not want to be put in a box. Sis wanted same and me and my brother per her request spread her ashes in a pretty place. That was done in the last few days.
Stay strong Jake

Jake (Dennis), there have been so many well phrased posts, that I will say "ditto all the above" But I mean it and am not trying to be cavalier! Peace to you and your family. [Reply]

I'm sure they appreciate that you're taking the time to honor their wishes. It's a kind and respectful thing to do.
I'm in the middle of writing something for the Pastor to read now. The words are stuck, i can't figure out what to say. What kind of son can't say good things about his mom?
