In Memory Of......
It is with sad heart and mind that I write this.
As many know (and we thank you for the messages and concern), Mr. Oro and I have not been on Tnet for a few weeks.
After a frantic phone call a few weeks ago, we were informed that Mr. Oro's mother had suddenly had a very severe stroke. She still lives in Pennsylvania, so we hurried and made the 1800 mile trip to her bedside (in the middle that darned big storm the whole way).
When we arrived "home to Pa" the situation looked grim, and was going downhill from there. Our family started a "around the clock" vigil, never leaving her without a loved one by her side.
On February 9th, at 12:20 p.m, Roy's mom went to a better, much less painful place.
We are on our way home from Pa. as I write this, and will be back on Tnet in the next couple of days. (this is the first time we have had a connection on our trip).
Mom was 85 years young. An avid horsewoman, traveled to almost every state in the country and all around Canada, and was active (and I mean active - gardening, mowing lawn, baking, sewing, decorating, dancing, ) and continued to ride horses until fairly recently.
The day of her stroke she baked, cleaned house, worked a little outside and did her normal routine. She was, may I say, one hell of a woman, and we will miss her dearly.

That is so amazing! This was a woman that I wish I could emulate! A fierce liver until the absolute end. You gotta admire someone like that. Gosh, you guys knew someone amazing. That's the way I want to go. My prayers are with the family through the loss, and I do hope you find peace through realizing that her life was tremendous. Peace. -Noodle

you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
never give up then for that is just the place and time that
the tide will turn.
