My first day on the new job, mom past away (updated) [View all]

I'd been at work an hour when my sister called. Mom had less than 2 weeks in the hospice. Cancer. My sister and I were there with her. She turned 88 on July 11th.

It will be a few days before I'm back here regularly.

Services will be Friday morning.
