All, 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support for the past few months
regarding my mother. My mother had a full life until the past few years when
she began to have problems due to the Alzheimers. While I feel a huge loss,
I have been praying simply for no more pain for Mom for some time now.

 

She died Sunday at 3:20 a.m. I was with her, and was able to be supportive
to my Dad and siblings during this time of loss.  It was time.  She never
had to be in a health care facility and we were able to provide her the
support, love and care that she needed at home.  We have been blessed that
we were able to do this.

 

I will be staying in Scottsboro this week to help my father with everything
that needs to be handled. Thankfully, we made many arrangements prior to her
death and things are in order.  We are holding the funeral service on
Wednesday to allow our out of town family to arrive. 

 

My daughter, Michelle, said it clearly- she is no longer in pain and she is
at peace. We have this and many fond memories to be thankful for. 

 

Please feel free to forward this email.  

 

Peace,

Beth
