Finally Over!

[Janet]

I guess it's time to move forward, even if we wish time could stand still for just a little longer.

Except for Monday through Thursday, while we watched my MIL slowly succumb to cancer..Thurs., Fri, and Sat. went really fast. Everything had to be scheduled quickly because of out of town relatives needing to get back home. MIL passed on Thursday morning, viewing was Friday evening and burial was yesterday afternoon.

I was frightened to see her Friday eve at the funeral home. She was unrecognizable in the nursing home. But the funeral home did a wonderful job and she looked like the beautiful MIL I remembered her to be. She was just sleeping. To look at her laying there, no one else could see the struggle she had endured those last few days.

The service was beautiful and the minister spoke truthfully and reverantly about Vivian. It was all so touching.

Thank you all for all your prayers during our family's struggle. I appreciate it so much. You know that now days the furneral homes offer online condolences, well I want you all to know I printed out all the kind words you've posted and the well wishes so all my family could read. You all helped them as much as you've helped me.

They all thought "what a loving group of women I had for support" and they are right. You all mean more to me than I could ever express. Thank you....

Love....Janet
