Eugene's mom died on the 11th. She was 80 years old and had been ill for around 2 years. The last month was especially hard for Eugene. He would visit her in the hospital almost daily. It was hard to watch. She is at peace now and doesn't hurt any more. What a blessing for her!
Her service was held yesterday. What a family she has! 7 children, 25 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren. It was amazing how many came. 6 of her 7 children were there. One son lives in the Phillipines and couldn't come. 23 of the 25 grandchildren and 26 of the 37 great-grandchildren were there. All 5 of our children and all 6 of our grandchildren were able to come. We were only missing our daughter-in-law and one son-in-law. It was so great to see so many family members. Just wish it could have been under better circumstances.
Good-bye mom. Thank you for the example and all you taught me.
