My mom passed away today at 92 [View all]

She had been failing badly for the last 3 months or so. She hadn't been able to eat for almost a week and it is really a blessing she is out of her misery now. Her mother passed away when she was 6 years old she only completed the 6th grade then went to work doing housework for her room and board until she married my dad at 21. She loved FDR and was a staunch Democrat all her life.
