Mom
 
While only a few of you have met me personally, the folks on this board are part of my life, so I wanted to let you know that my Mom passed away unexpectedly last week. She was only 78. Its been a rough week, but family and friends helped get me through. This time has reminded me of some valuable life lessons, among them The importance of friends & family; Actively maintaining those relationships; Living life every day to its fullest; The importance of supporting those grieving. Over the years, our relationship evolved to a close friendship; I'll miss her greatly, as will all who knew her.

All our prayers are with you. I lost my Dad last November and Mom just 8 weeks later. I know what a shock it is, remember all the good times and be glad you you got her for a Mom.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, Paul.

Many in the rocketry community supported me when I was down after my dad died in a car accident back in '99.

Paul.

Sorry about your mom :(

Just remember that your YORF buddies are here for you, to listen or whatever - the guys here were there for me after my wife left/ during the divorce, and the hard times... one even sent me a few kits to pass the time :) < thanks , you know who you are :) >

Awesome to know the guys here, true friends, even if some I;ve never met.

Sorry to hear the news about your mom.

I lost mine a little over two years ago. She was 78 like yours and her passing was not unexpected. Didn't make it any easier, tho.

Be strong.

Prayers for you and your family from here as well.
