Mom is back in the hospital. She has worsened and Dad could not take care of her at home. Dad, you did an amazing job. Thank you. Love you both. Mom is being kept comfortable and will be transitioning to a nursing home soon. Thank you for your thought and prayers.

I love you. I can't fathom what our lives will be like without our beautiful mother in the center of it. I'm so glad she has always known how much we love her. XO -Mark
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this. I have been thinking of you all each and every day and sending only the most positive energy and faith.
ReplyDeleteYou are all so loving and wonderful and your Mom does know that - never doubt that you have brought only joy to her life and vice versa. Whatever I can do for you, please let me know. Love, Suzanne
Hi Brooks Family Everyone at the bank is thinking of you all and remembering the energy and spirit your mom brought to us. She also decorated your dad's office way better than he could have done considering his color blindness! You are in our thoughts everyday...Love your FSB Family
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that Mike and I have been thinking about you and your family.

Please send our thoughts to your mom and dad and know that we are keeping you all close to our hearts.

ReplyDeleteJimmy, Mark & Chris & Vint, My prayers have been ongoing for Joanne / Mom from the onset and of course they are continuing. I want to tell you all that you have been amazing from the onset and throughout - such strength in all of you; such love for her and each other. Many times a day and through the night I find one or all of you strolling through my heart; each time serving as an invitation and privilege to offer up another prayer.
ReplyDeleteJim Chris & Mark,

I've intended to get something in the mail ever since Pam let us all know about you, Joanne. You've been in my thoughts and prayers and I will redouble my efforts. It's obvious that you have a wonderful family who supports you. God bless you all. Jim, you are special!

I had the chance yesterday to go up and visit Joanne. Sorry I missed you Jim. Through it all, I still saw some glimpses of that awesome smile of Joanne's. My best to the entire family. Love you all.
