died Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 at 2:00...... we were all together for the last days of her life, and my sister crawled in her bed and held her for her last hours..... so sad, so sweet and sooo the right thing to do...... She fought so hard to die.... I had no idea it could be such hard work. We took her oxygen off (against the Nursing Homes wishes - sorry they don't rate enough to have a say...) and it speeded up the process.... which she would have wanted....

Evelyn gave her many kisses even after she died..... She loved her grandma and she loved her back tenfold....

My Mom is no longer in pain, she is no longer trapped in a body that won't walk, talk or swallow.... She is sitting in heaven w/ Kirby on her lap.... eating nachos, listening to ABBA and she knows w/ all of her heart that her kids love her to pieces... and we know, she loved us too.

LOve you MOm!
