Sad news

[patoadam]

My mother, Grace Thiesen, passed away the evening of Aug. 31 after a massive hemorrhagic stroke. This came as a complete surprise; after her recovery from kidney failure in June, we thought she was in good health again.

At least she got to see her grandson Adam one more time.

I'd like to thank everyone who sent messages of support during Mom's illness in June. Your kind words meant a great deal to Mom and me.

So sorry

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Hemorraghic strokes do just happen, they say sometimes for no reason (my mother had a small one 4 years ago.) But that doesn't make it any easier and I am sorry if this is probably coming out sounding wrong because it's written and it's 1:30 am here.

Do keep pictures of her around, and tell stories, hers and of her, to Adam. It will keep her alive for all of you, and you can remember the good times.

I always enjoy hearing stories about *my* grandmother, who died when I was 5, and I have very fond memories, even though some of them are *helped* by the stories.
