My mom

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive August 2004: My mom

passed away on Tuesday at 4 p.m. I just don't know what I will do. I can not even try to sleep tonight. PLease say a prayer for strength for all of us. We are going to have the viewing for her on Friday night and the funeral on Saturday.
I have always dreaded this time and always hope to never see it What a hard thing.
