Default My Abscense from the Forum

To All:

It is with sorrow in my heart that I bring news of my Mother's (Pauline Ruth Schmidt) death last night, 5:40 PM Mountain time in Springville, Utah.
My mother had been ill and had been diagnosed with diverticulitis, but that was being treated. She had complained earlier on Monday that she was not feeling good and was sent to the Hospital. On Tuesday and Wednesday they had giving her a total of 16 liters of fluids, but none of it was passing. About 12:00 noon Wednesday, she passed into a Coma, and then succumbed to renal failure.

My father seems "Okay" and my youngest Brother, the only one close in Utah, took all the responsibility. Please pray for them in their grief and as they make arrangements for the funeral. Some how, I do plan to go, but I have no definite plans as to time and place.

Dont fret, for I am sure she went with the knowledge that she had raised a fine young man such as yourself. One can only ask that their name is passed to a worthy successor and my friend, you are more than any mother could ask for in a son. May she be with God now.

Gott Mit Uns.

Everything that has a beginning must also come to an end. Your mother had a mission here, and if you're an example of the children she raised, she completed it successfully and was allowed to bask in that success until the time came for 'reassignment'. You have to go on, secure in the knowledge that you fulfilled her expectations for you, and that as long as she is remembered, she is never truly gone.

Default Sorrow..

Top,
I don't have the words, but I do know that our Holy Spirit has her by His side. He reserves a special spot for Mothers and rightfully so. Tonight friend, she dances with Angels.
Be well Friend, you are in my thoughts and prayer.
Easy Brother,
Reddog...

Top, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't express my sympathies any clearer that what others have already said. You and your family will be in my prayers. God Bless you all.
