Well.....I am now head of my clan

[Doug M.]

I lost Dad in 1993, most in 2017. He was only 75, but somehow Mom made it to just a few days short of 98. She was an outlier - not only did she substantially outlive her siblings, but most of their kids.

There will be peace in time.

Very sorry to hear this.

Remember to hold her in your heart and then she is still here with you.
My parents, brothers and sister have gone on, but, they are still in my
heart and dreams at night. I'm always happy when I dream of them.

Sincere condolences for you and your family.

I,too, offer my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your mom. I have been "next" for some time. I am 5 years older than my BIL, who is #2.

You know, I can remember when I was too young to do some of the things I I wanted to do. But my family and my circle of friends was growing. I was having new experiences and gradually getting old enough to do more things.

Now, as you point out, the que has advanced until I'm next. My family and circle of friends is shrinking. I have done just about everything I'm ever going t do. Not too many new experiences lie ahead. And I face an ever growing list of things that I am now too old to do.

Putting it all together really helps to put "FULL CIRCLE" in perspective.

This was not meant as a complaint, more, an observation. This is how it works. I'm just focusing on getting the most out of the time I have left.

To quote Jasper Fant in "Lonesome Dove", I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Our condolences from our
family to yours.​

Sorry to hear of your loss. I was hit a lot harder from my moms passing then my dad.

Now you are the head man. Time to take charge and love the rest of the family unconditionally. Best of Luck.

My condolences for you and your family on the loss of your Mom, it is tough but as the older as we all get it is something that each of us goes through. I lost my Mom 18 years ago, seems like yesterday....

My condolences Gary. Mom’s are special. It hurts when they are gone.

 

[pawncop]

How very difficult this must be. Please accept my condolences and a prayer for you and your family’s peace, comfort, and strength.

 

[pharmer]

My condolences, mom can’t be replaced. As far as “head of clan” I got that promotion in 2014. Unfortunately I have outlived everyone except my son. I certainly ain’t his boss. Enjoy your new found power. Joe

Thank you all for your heartfelt condolences-it reinforces the fact that I'm not alone.
I'm into lawyer mode now-with taking care of the business of death and estate settling-something I feel comfortable with and it is taking my mind off the pain-time for that later.

Very sorry for your loss Mothers are special.

Sorry for your loss. It is sobering to realize that you are the elder generation and your time is limited.
Your thoughts on the important things we are to do aligns with mine. I have held this spot for several years. I still try to be the example for my grown children and my grandchildren on being upstanding,ethical, and moral. This particular task will last as long as we do.
My prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.
May the Lord Bless you.
