Priscilla was my mother in law. She was 80 years old but acted 30! She always exercised, tried to eat right and took good care of herself.

My MILs passing
Seems strange after almost 4 years of reading on this website that now I'm here to say her journey is over. It still does not seem real. Even though hospice was involved, it was still a shock. She wasn't doing too bad but the nurse had told me a rough road was ahead where she would need to be heavily medicated. I'm…

My Mom
This disease took my Mom 4 years ago today. She was my best friend and I still cry daily for her. I know dying ended her pain but was the beginning of mine.

In memory of Lynn
Lynn had some definite thoughts on the music she wanted to be used to commemorate her life. Some was used at the actual funeral, some was not appropriate for a funeral Mass and became part of this video I made in her memory. My favourite parts are around 12:10, 21:15 and 25:10 - she was an awesome woman and we miss her…
