Mother- Will's mother

We were at the Panera's eating lunch with friends from my church. Will received a phone call from his sister Joan at 1:00 P.M. telling him that mother had just died.  Will came back after the conversation elder Pat K  prayed having us all hold hands right there and then.  It felt very well comforted.  Will and I talked about this being a "Thanks Be to God death"  since mother was 94 and was so very tired of being here in an assisted living and then in a nursing home.  We understand.  We give thanks to God for this child of his we call mother.  She missed dad so - who had gone before her seven years before.
