Rest in peace, Mom

Mom Borepatch, April 24 1929 - August 23 2020.  Finally reunited with Dad.

This music meant a lot to me when Dad died, and it's even more poignant now.




And she always was a woman of faith.  I can't think of a better send off than this.




Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.

Our condolences. She is at peace and just like my mom, probably giving your dad an earful about what he has not done while she was not there.

HMS Defiant said...

Oh I think that will do.

I went into sorrow a couple of nights ago. To exit life with grace and with God? I aspire to that and I can't think of a better alternative.

if you're willing and I know the hour is late and I've been drinking but a little history goes a long way. an obit for someone who meant the world to you?

or not.
