My Mother
« on: November 29, 2012, 12:29:07 pm »
This has not been my best year. My Mother died at 1:35 AM Monday. She was 91 and has been in the throes of dementia for a couple of years so her death is in the blessing category. Her funeral is tomorrow at 2 PM.

She raised a fine son, Mr. Raup. That is a fine tribute to her life. May you find peace in her memory.

My condolences Jim.  Even when the final release is a blessing, it's always tough to go through.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

If it wasn't such a sad occasion, I'd be tempted to say something like, "Shit! There's two of you?"

Anyway, you have my deepest sympathies. Nothing quite like a good mom.

The best way to cope with the inevitable loss of those that came before us is to forge strong bonds with those that came after.  From what I've read here, you've excelled at that.  Condolences.

At work my Maintenance Manager, HR Manager, Production Manager, and Production Supervisor all had either a parent or spouse pass away.
