At 6am this morning I looked at my text messages and saw this from Bill: "Connie, I am sorry, your Mom passed away tonight, April 11, 9pm" It caught me a bit by surprise, but then I also remembered how much weaker she had been on the second day we were visiting with her last month. Iris and I were hoping she would make it to her 89th birthday on May 27.
Cause of death is colon cancer. It's the same cancer that killed her mother when she was 88 years old as well.
I didn't cry, but I was sad all day. I've mourned her loss years ago and had no tears left today. At least she died on her own terms at home. She distrusted the medical field and refused all treatment for her colo blockage. I will miss her nonetheless. Bill wrote this obituary
