Sorry for your loss Beagle! I lost my father-in-law the same way, prayers are with you and your family.
 

Oh Reece I'm sitting here in tears now.
 
From your tender, open sharing of your feelings to the RIP.
 
You are such a special friend to many of us here, my prayers, thoughts and hugs go out to you and all of your family.
 
God bless you Reece.

I'm sorry for your loss. Having very elderly parents, I know how helpless you must have felt. My dad went back to the hospital over the weekend in the ambulance. He almost bled out from a colon problem.
You don't know how they keep going and there is nothing you can really do... and if you do something you wonder if it is the right thing or if you're hurting more than helping.
My mom sleeps a the time. She wakes up long enough to not recognize anyone... end of life care is sad and we are all so helpless.
I'm glad her struggle is over and I hope you heal and you and your family grows in love and faith and you all carry something away that will enable you to help someone else in their time of trouble.

Sorry for your loss, Beagle. RIP Martha.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Reece. My mother-in-law lived with us for two years until she passed from Alzheimer's disease. My prayers are with you and your family. 

Thank you very much everyone.
 
Bob - you and Donna are very much a part of our extended family and I am sorry we have not gotten together lately.  if you see this, the visitation is tonight between 6 and 8pm at Laurel Land.
 
Julen - that's the way Martha was in the last week before she left.  my prayers for you and yours.
 
Bubba - my sympathies.  if your mother in law is anything like mine she was a wonder lady and I called her Mom.
 
Jon - your post brought me to tears!  thank you my friend.
 
I thank everyone very much from the bottom of my heart.
 
Tonight will be the visitation, tomorrow is the memorial service, which I am leading the music for. I hope I can get through it without breaking down!
