Friday Morning - Feb. 8th.

Mom passed away around 6:00pm last night. No plans have been confirmed regarding the funeral service as of this morning. We are in Woodland this morning and will be in Colusa tonight probably. Thanks for all the support. Our different Ministers were there during the day. During one occasion, Karen asked all of us what we all remembered about Mildred and Papa Joe said, "She was not the best in math, or spelling, or science, but she taught me about love and how to love." What a beautiful testimony of someone's life.

We will be in contact

Love Mike

Denise, our hearts go out to you and your family, during these very difficult times. Though difficult it has been…in time…in retrospect, I’m sure these past days will be remembered as good days…a time that you and your family could say good-bye, and especially for your Dad. Though difficult…It was so good to see you and all your family yesterday. Our thoughts have been with you so often these past days, and especially your dad…how hard this would be for him. Yet, what peace you could have in seeing the beautiful future your mother would have before her. And the comfort you, your family and Joe, could find in knowing that one day you can see her again, a promise from our Heavenly Father to all those who remain faithful. Please feel free to call on us for anything that we may be able to help with.
With all our love… Gordon and Rita

Dear Mike and Denise and family,
My thoughts are with you right now in love and a little understanding. Oh dear people, would come and give hugs if I could and I send all my love. There is great comfort from our Father and the love of others, but there is a big sense of loss too. My own mind seems numb still about losing Uncle Steve. yes, we can see it coming, and yet it is unexpected and hard to believe its true when it finally happens.
Take care,
Shauna

Our thoughts have gone your way so often in the past few weeks. Last night when we returned home from southern California and checked your blog, I just sat here at the computer in silence for a few minutes--knowing that her suffering is over; yet knowing you'll miss her so much. Our sympathies to you and your family. Sylvia and Jerry
