    Not what we had planned for the holidays

    So this past week my family was dealt a devastating blow. My beloved mother suddenly passed away on Tuesday December 17th after a brief and sudden illness. To say my family and I are in disbelief is a understatement. I spoke with her on Friday evening and all was fine. By Saturday night she was in the hospital and early Tuesday she passed.

    Yesterday was her service and if anyone who knows New England weather knows December can be awful. It just so happens that it was sunny and 50 degrees outside and it made for a beautiful service.

    I guess it just goes to show you never know when your time is up and to live life to the fullest. I wasn't going to post but I feel as though this community is part of my family just as much as my blood family.

    She was always a big supporter of my business and my passion for detailing. In fact I am pretty positive her neatness and always wanting to keep things clean rubbed off on me lol.

    Sorry for your loss. My wife lost her dad Dec 29th last year. She doesn't do well in December anyway and this year it's hitting her extra hard.

    Losing someone close is never easy and for it to happen during such a major "Family Holiday" makes it worse. My prayers are with you.

    So sorry for the loss of your mom. I’m 50, see my parents weekly and I seriously dread the day they are no longer here.

    The right words are sometimes hard to
    find at a time like this...but I want you
    to know that I care.

    May God always be with you, and yours.

    Sorry for your loss. The best thing to do at this time is to spend it with your family. Never easy to lose someone during the holidays. They will not be the same but you will always remember how good they can be.
