My mother isn't in the hospital any more
06-20-2015, 10:00 AM
I hadn't mentioned this online, although I did email Bob about it... My mother has been in the hospital for a few weeks. The hospital just called - she didn't make it.
I'll probably be away from the forums for a few days.

Our condolences on your loss Rob - My lovely wife lost her mother last month, so we know how hard it can be.

She isn't in pain any more. That's a good thing ... (And I'll keep reminding myself of that.)
Thank you, everyone.
The funeral's on Wednesday. There's now a leave request on my boss' desk - I'm not going into work at all this week.

My condolences as well. I lost an aunt to cancer recently so I have an idea what you're going through.
