Maybe someday, I'll tell the story, when my thoughts aren't so jumbled. Mom died of multiple complications from an angiogram. It's a very low-risk procedure. This never happens.
Except it did.
This is my favorite (relatively) recent picture of Mom. She was in Guatemala with our family visiting Cupcake. Something about Guatemala makes you look and feel ten years younger. She felt great and was so happy there. I'm so glad she came with us. I have a lifetime of happy memories just from that week. This is the Mom I want to remember.I would appreciate prayers for our family (especially my brothers) as we process this loss.
Blessings to you,
Mamita

Oh J - I am SO sorry for your loss. My grandmother also lost her life due to an angiogram...there must be more risks to it than they let on. I have a story surrounding her event too...maybe someday, I'll blog about it. How blessed you are to have had her here for so long...so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you. {hugs}
Wish to extend my heartfelt condolences on the untimely death of your mother. I pray for her soul to rest in peace and you to gain strength from this. I know that this is a tough time and how i wish that i could be with you,but knowing that you have friends who are always with you thru good times and tough times, i know you will be fine.I pray for her soul to rest in peace and you to gain strength from this.(hugs)
