My mom passed away before midnight on November 7, three months to the day that scans showed the tumors in her pancreas. She was 77, and she suffered quite a bit in her last few weeks, not only from the physical pain, but, I sensed, from the loneliness and anxiety and sadness of having to go ahead and leave all those she loved. My sisters, my sons, my nephews, my Mom's close friends and relatives and I, none of us have fully processed or understood all this. She was, is, a good mother and a great grandmother. She was loved by her many, many friends. All we can do is entrust her to God's tender care. We miss her very much.
