In Passing

My wife's mother passed away last Friday, October 19, 2007. She died in the arms of her son in a hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She fought a valiant 2-year battle against dementia, but in the end it was her heart that gave out. Madge was a gracious wife, mother, grandmother, and most importantly (to me) a gracious mother-in-law.

She loved family get-togethers, especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas. She always wanted to host the family meals at her home, and she never complained about cooking for the dozen or so people that would attend. She was a proud mother, and loved her children dearly.

We will all miss her, but we know that at last she has found some peace from her last years of confusion. She can rest now, and know that we all loved her.
