A Sad Day


Early yesterday morning my mother passed away in her sleep. She would have been 89 tomorrow. She was a kind and gentle soul. Ever since my father died 5yrs ago she has been drifting away but thankfully she has always recognized her children, me and my 2 brothers and 2 sisters. We have been blessed with 2 wonderful parents and now they are both gone.
