RIP Jou-Jou 1945-2010

Post by bjornolf » May 9th, 2010, 6:43 am

Rather unexpectedly, my mother passed away in her sleep yesterday morning. Any thoughts or prayers you can send, especially to my dad, who lost his wife of 40 years and companion in life of 48 years, and my children, who lost their beloved Jou-Jou, would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, Joe, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing.

She was blessed to have you as her son, and to have Katie, Michael and Sean as her loving grandchildren.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers, my friend. Big, big hugs to you!

Ohhhhh! I'm so sorry. I knew she was having problems with that infection some months ago, but I thought she was getting better. Now this. I'm so sad. Hope she didn't hurt. What a rough year for you guys. Tell your dad that all of us here on the board are pulling for him. He's lucky to have a loving family like you all. You can all take great comfort in knowing you've done everything right and cared for her in every way possible. Dotted every I and crossed every t. May your sadness fade quickly and may your warmest memories remain vivid.

Love, Ima
