Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 My wife's mother has lived 93 years and 3 months, has been very ill for about four months, and is now expected to leave us within a few days. She out lived two husbands and all of her siblings, and she is ready to go. She has four kids, ten grandkids, over twenty great grandkids, and two great greats. The family is being notified and are gathering from Japan, Arizona, New York, California, and many other places. My wife is flying up Sunday or monday and my daughter may go up with her. I'm asking for prayers not so much for Mable, but for her four kids and some of the others who were very close to her. We all thought we were ready for this, but the two oldest daughters are really taking it hard and I expect the youngest will, too. Thanks. Quote
