I really appreciate all the kind and concerned comments and e-mails (I read every one). I don't think I'll be able to reply to all the e-mails but they ARE very appreciated!
And for those of you that said it was probably a good thing that she passed quickly - I do have to agree. It would have been awful for it to have drawn out for longer and her having to suffer and be in any more pain.
I do honestly believe she is in a much better place - I know I personally will be able to move on and get through all this - it's her husband and children, my grandma (who's 89) and of course my mom that I am most concerned about right now. I haven't seen any of them yet (only talked to my mom on the phone a couple of times) so I have no idea how they are all doing.
This is all I have time for to post - I am leaving right away for the city to get some things done and then to attend the family viewing and service tonight. Tomorrow is the funeral.
Again HUGE ((((HUGS)))) to everyone - from the comments I read there are so many (TOO many) that have gone through this and worse and my heart goes out to you all!!
