Mom took her last breath here and the next breath she took was in Heaven at about 5pm this evening.
She was not alone Paige was laying down with her when she passed.
If you havent gotten a call and are reading about this on here I am sorry but we just did not have the energy to call lots of people.
I asked others what the title of this post should be and several ideas but since I was writing this all along I dedided The Fight is Over. Paige also had a good one "Sweet Relief" and I guess that would apply to all.
I don't know what to say. All the things that come to mind seem so cliche'. So very sorry for your loss and I know its a huge loss to all of you. May you rest now knowing that she truly is in a better place and you'll be with her again one day.
ReplyDeleteGod is great and he will take care of her for now on. Blessed be the good memories that you have, dwell on those.
Peace be with you and your family Ang.

I don't know what to say except how very sorry I am. Your mom was so much fun and so kind. I'll always remember how she wanted to provide food or a gift for any occasion. She always asked me about my mom even when she was not feeling well..I'm sorry she's gone. I know she'll be looking down on all of us and continue to be proud of her wonderful family. And i bet she'll be keeping an eye on her yard! I hope time will ease the pain for all of you. Mona
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, I will miss chating with Connie on FB...you and your family have my deepest condolences and my prayers.
ReplyDeletethe fight is over and the victory won!!!!! now its time for you the family to take care of yourselves.take time to rest and heal,your mom is the victor!!!!amen love you all,cousin cathy
ReplyDeleteAll who are hurting. first let me say how sorry I am and I know that won't mean much right now, but I will pray that God will give you all peace. She is healthy and walking on the Streets of Gold, or maybe working in Gods garden?? I can't imagine what it looks like. There is a new angel in heaven tonight!! Praise God! Sharon C.

Angela,
ReplyDeleteSadness and relief, I know. I hope you take comfort knowing that we should all be so lucky as to die peacefully and comfortably at home and in the warm embrace of our families. This time was a gift, and you gave your mom the most important gift that she needed in these last few months. I am sorry for you and Paige, your dad and Alan and his family, and for all of us who loved your mom.
They will now officially break the Connie Mold. She lived a good life. She made the lives of all who knew her more beautiful and fun and spontaneous and comfortable. If she loved you, you could be sure of it. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, and keep it up if it helps you. The support of your followers here will not end now. Wishing you an easy grief, and a good transition to your "new normal".

Jen, again thanks for your words they are so comforting and I like the way you phrase things. I really dont want a new normal especially without mom nothing will be normal but I guess I / we just need time. Thanks again Jen Love You!!!!
ReplyDeleteAngela and Family - I'm thinking of you during this difficult time. May you have peace knowing that your mom is now at peace herself and she's watching over you. Grieving is difficult, but I hope that yours is lightened a little knowing that your love for Connie is so strong and that she is forever with you in your hearts and will see you again on the other side. -- Jami Mathias
ReplyDeleteAngela and Paige..I am very sorry for the loss of Connie...may she rest with her Lord and Savior...
