Daisy Dew, my mom also passed on Dec 8th 1998 and yes a devoted Catholic as she was I know in my heart it could not have been a better day. My mom hated the heat, she couldn't wait for winter to come, she would say her head was clearer when it was cold. Well, within 4 hours from transporting her from one hospital to another the temp dropped 25degrees. it took me 6 months to come to the realization of that day and what a special day for her. Still miss her dearly, but I know in my heart, someone needed her more than me.
hope all my northern, eastern, and west coast friends stay safe with all this bad weather I see on the news. Have a wonderful week everyone.
