    It is a very sad time in my life right now. My mother passed away yesterday after a very long fight for her life. She was only 53 years old and the strongest woman I know. She has been sick for the last six years. I have come to find out that no matter how much you try to prepare yourself for something like this it don't help. She was the type of person that when you met her you remembered her forever. She literally has like 100 friends of my brothers and I that called her Mom. While many will miss her I feel she is in a better place and no longer suffering or in pain. Live life to the fullest and love those close to you and spend as much time as you can with them cause you never know when it will end.

    My thoughts are with you and yours. Two years ago me and my mother fought her aggressive Breast Cancer. She is cancer free today and our relationship is as strong as ever. Time on earth is precious and everyone must learn the cherish what we have while we have it.

    I know your mother is smiling down now in full appreciation of your love and devotion. Kudos to you for being a great son

    Chris, I am sorry for you loss. Your mom sounds like she lived more of life in her 53 years than most people do 20 years her senior.

    Man, I am so sorry. I know exactly how it feels brother. Thank you for your support to me, now it's my turn. What helped me is what my wife told me. Just remember that there is another family reunion on the other side with as much joy as there is sadness here. We are sad for the physical aspect, the touch, the voice, the hugs, but one day you to will experience the reunion joy when you hug her again. Take solice in that she is with God and has no worries or pain, and is watching over you. My condolences to you & your family. Stay strong bro. Anytime you need to talk pm & I'll call you. May God give you peace.
