Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 31 | Hi all,
I just wanted to pop in. It's been 6 months now since mum passed, and we're all slowly coming to terms with it. I was able to get back to the UK last month for a visit, it was very weird with mum not being there, but I stayed with Ray for the first week and we had lots of cries but also lots of laughs.
My twin is coming to California on Tuesday with his wife, Ray and mums friend Lesley. This morning, they scattered a portion of her ashes off Brighton Pier in the UK.
Hope all is well, keep surviving!

It's really odd, but I was looking at some of my old posts in my
private mail yesterday and some of your Mom's private messages to me are still in my mail - and I will keep them there as long as I can. I can't reread them yet, but I know they are there.
I know you must miss her so much. I am glad you have family
and that you can all get together and comfort each other. Family
means a lot these days when we all seem to get scattered around the
country.
Thanks for checking in. We all miss your Mom too.

Partial mandibulectomy and neck dissection 2/3/07. T2NOMO.
Had 14 hour operation which included reconstruction of jaw.
Reconstruction failed. Some radiation, no chemo.

Thanks for posting. She was a wonderful woman and showed such compassion to others. I have some of her messages too that I have kept. Your mom is still greatly missed here.
