Sharon Kay,
Hi my name is Mollie and I haven't had the time to slow down even long
enough to welcome you to our Dickson List.. And now I read this about the
death of a Loved one..
I am so sorry for you , I know how hard it is to lose someone quckly and
also to watch someone waste away..
The hurt does not differ if it is unexpected or if you know it coming.. And
it is never easy to lose a parent.. When I was little I used to think my
mom and dad were invincible,
but as I grew up I saw that there were not.. My father died in 1967 and I
lost my mom in 1997 .. My dad had cancer and my mom was very unexpected..
She went in to nursing home for rehab from Pneumonia , one that I worked at
, and passed away..
So I do know what you are speaking of.. But just know that Our list not only
concentrates on Genealogy but also we care about each other, that is the
only way I know to explain it.. So welcome to our "family"
Mollie
