I miss my "Gramma."
She was my Mother's Mom, and the nicest woman you could ever meet.

Then she got Alzheimers, and died in 1989. :cry:

RIP Florence Purgett, you are out of your pain.

1. I miss my mama.
Died last Christmas eve. A stent operation was botched and she developed a clot and her condition became exacerbated when the doctor pierced her artery, trying to clear it. She died a few days later.

Sometimes I think the purpose my family serves, in the big scheme of things, is to illustrate the cracks in the system.

4. i miss my mother
she passed in June after living with me for 10yrs.
Its been a terrible adjustment for me. She had a long
good life, age 90. Somedays I just sit and cry still
in disbelief. I was just so use to her sounds around
my now very quiet house.
Thank god i have good friends who are helping me through
this. I understand your loss. Its hard to let go
no matter what age they are. Im 48 and I dont think
I will make it as long as she did.
