Losing a family member is never easy. They leave a vacant space that no one and nothing else can fill. One thing for sure, none of us gets out of here alive and the sooner we face that fact the better lives we can live.



My dad had a friend who became a funeral director. He said, "I'll be here when they carry the last one out".

As you’ll read in the obituary, she was 101 and left this life on her own terms. One could do worse.

My grandmother is 104 and still demands to live on her own (with a lot of visits). Amazing person.

My Mom lived alone until August 27. Stroke knocked her down for the count.

Sorry for your loss.


Wow 101! Think of the things that she has seen. And experienced. Hope the family caught all that.

She remembered the gas lighters walking the streets at night lighting street lamps in Philly. The was talking about a lovely stream than ran near her home in Somerton and I found it on GoogleEarth, It is now a park. That made her smile.

My sincere sympathies Bot.
I am always reminded of Tennyson when a sailor passes on.

...For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have cross ’d the bar.

May she rest in peace.
