Mom passed last night

After a long and terrible struggle with ALS, my mom finally found peace last night just before midnight. She went comfortably and surrounded by friends and family, myself included, who spent hours at her side telling her we love her, know she loves us, and that it was OK to let go and finally be peaceful and comfortable. She's a stubborn woman, but she finally listened.

Thanks to all who have kept her in your thoughts and prayers and who sent their support throughout this process, it will never be forgotten!
