    I just wanted to stop in and tell all my friends that my mother passed away peacefully this morning at my home. She was a wonderful lady. She had battled cancer over a 24 year span. I was fortunate enough to get to spend the last couple weeks with her at her side, thanks to my work stepping up and giving me extra sick days. A lot of you here have prayed and kept my mother and family in your thoughts. Sincerely, I thank you. You guys are my extended family.

    Have a great day guys, treat every day like it could be your last, build strong relationships, make great memories and have a forgiving heart.

    Once all of this settles, I look forward to gettting back out into the woods again. My mother is now in heaven with my father.

    Troy, I'm so sorry to hear this news. We've been thinking of you alot lately. I'm glad you got to spend time with her lately, and I'm glad that her pain is over. If you need anything let me know. Hang in there bud.

    Very sorry to hear this Troy. She was obviously a very strong woman to keep on fighting all of those years. May she enjoy her reunion with your dad.
