"ETERNAL REST GRANT ONTO HER, O LORD, 
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HER. "
APRIL 2, 2013 - MY JOURNAL ENTRY
"Mom wanted to get up so we put her in her wheelchair and wheeled her out in the front room.  She sat and looked out the picture window for a long time.  Then we took her out to the family room.  I took some pictures with the girls."
APRIL 9, 2013 - MY JOURNAL ENTRY
"MOM DIED THIS MORNING AT 7:37.  MAY SHE REST IN PEACE....
Mary Lou called.  When I got back to her, she told me that Mom had just died; 
she was gone.  I came down to the house and she was in her bed, finally at peace."

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams 
Be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
