thank you Rain.
 
Bob - unfortuntately she's asleep all the time because of the pain medication.  she was able to recognize my two older boys when they were in last week.  but this week she is on so much medication just to keep her out of pain that she doesn't do anything but sleep.  that's the sad part, is that she can't even recognize family and smile at their touch at this point.  we just keep giving her medicine and changing her and that's all there is left.

Sorry to hear that, Reece.

Her pain is gone now.  RIP Martha.

Her pain is gone now.  RIP Martha.

Sorry that you had to go through all that Reece, but now you can get on with your life knowing you did good!

Thank Karyn!

Thanks Craig!

I'm thankful that Martha is no longer in pain.  RIP, Martha.  Even though it wasn't a surprise, her passing will probably still hit you you and her family pretty hard.  Don't beat yourselves up over the sense of relief that comes along with the grieving process.  I have some experience since my dad passed away after a long illness many years ago. 
 
You, Martha and both of your families have my sympathy and my prayers.

Wookiee thoughts for you and your family at a very difficult time Reece.

Sorry to hear that news Reece.
 
There are more mother-in-law jokes than any other kind, but I have to say this much..... My in-laws where like parents and friends to me. My own father died when I was 16, and my mom just passed in Feb. My wife's parents have always been good to me. Her dad passed several years back but her mom is still with us, and is included in most of the activities we do.

Bittersweet, as Jan noted, and his words ring true.
All of you are in our thoughts.
You know, this hits closer than I might have expected. Even though we haven't seen you for a while, you guys are part of our extended family, and you welcomed us into yours when we got to Texas.
I didn't know her well, but I knew her, and it leaves a void.
RIP Martha. You raised some great kids.
