I would like to express my condolences to a fellow trainzer and his family. I have just heard that Gandalf0444's Mother has passed away. Sorry to hear of your loss mate You and your family are in my thoughts and no doubt the thoughts of your fellow trainzers.

Thanks. She had several types of cancer, the most prevalent was Lymphoma, she had 3 chemo treatments, 2 of which did nothing, the 3rd may have helped but it essentially destroyed her physically, she weighed all of 80lbs.
She fought and fought, but finally an cat scan of her brain found growths on her brain. It was then determined by her own will and living will that she did not want to pursue any further treatment, she was then moved to Hospice.

She spent about 2 weeks there where she steadily declined to the point where she could no longer talk, the past 4 days I was busy taking my dad to his mass amount of doctors appointments(he just had a heart attack and I have the only vehicle) so we were unable to visit for the past 3 of them days. So went yesterday Jan 20th. and arrived at around 3:20pm at hospice, we walk into her room and find her laying on her side, we go around the side of the bed where she was facing, to find her lifeless and her eyes and mouth wide open. She died looking out at the beautiful ocean, where her long lost friend, a skipper on a boats, had his ashes thrown into the ocean a decade before.

It was determined that she must have passed away within 10 or less minutes prior to our arrival as the nurse just checked her vitals 10 minutes prior to us getting there. She died at a young age of 46 years old, she would have turned 47 on January 31st.

So now we are carrying out her will where her ashes will also be spread in the ocean so she can then join her long lost friend, once again.

She leaves behind 1 son(me 20 years old) and her partner(my father) of 22 years, and her animals who she loved so much, 3 cats, Bonnie, Clyde and Jasmine, and our faithful dog Buddy.

She can now join my dad's father, and her father(who died a little more then a year ago) in the other world, where they can raise a glass of there favorite beverage together once more.
 
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my own mother this past year and understand the pain. Your mother was quite young, and I'm sure her passing is taking a toll on everyone. May God give you all comfort in this time of sorrow.
 
We Clem and Linda too are sorry for your loss and our hearts go out to you. I know the feeling as I lost my mother and aunt whom were 36 and 38 respectfully, also to cancer. I was only 16 at the time.
 
It's always a sad time when you lose someone close to you. My great-grandad (on my dad's side) passed away a few years ago, and that was a difficult time for me as well. (I didn't see much of him though, as he lived near Newcastle (South Shields)

Gandalf,

It will be a challenging time to come. Just remember her the way she was before the cancer. That is the way I remember my dad.

Gandalf i am very sorry reading this. I lost my grandma the last year after fighting with the cancer for years. I know how do you feel now. Its very sad to heard things like that, its very sad to feel impotent when you heard that cancer wins and its very hard to beat it. Now she is in a better place.Take care friend ,now you need to be strong like never before. My condolences are with you

A great hug from spain
 
Sorry for your loss, my uncle also died of cancer a few years back so i know how it can feel:(
My condolences to you and your family.
 
So sorry to here about your loss too!

Cancer is bad, I lost my mom just before Christmas 2011, day before her 68th birthday her will to go on was no more and she slept into the big sleep.
She also lost her voice, we all thought it was due to some other stuff, but when the doctor called my dad the last evening and saying he was afraid she was going to die, all I could do was calling and saying how much I love her and that I wanted her to do what she though was the best for her, sadly it was leaving us behind but I don't blame her, just did not expect that as I was hoping to see her but was not able to go home that fast.

It was at least a gift from her that we as a family for the first time in my memory had a great Christmas eve together, all the close, me, my younger sister and older brother and our dad, first time ever we all was together - thanks mom for that present!

Cherish the memories and good times, we never know when they are all we have, so many lost in battle with cancer, breast, brain, lung, some place I even don't know the English name for, those was hunting me mom, last unknown took her, so I feel your pain!! :(

My best wishes to you and your family!!

Linda
 
I've already mentioned this, but I definitely give my condolences to you and your family, and wish that things will be more optimistic for you guys and turn for the better.

I've never had to deal with loss before until earlier this year, both my aunt and uncle died within a month of each other.

My uncle had Lymphoma, a very severe form of Leukemia. Irony was he passed away from a heart attack at the beginning of the year(he had stem cell therapy, and that helped him a lot; I'm not sure how the mechanics of that work), and my aunt was so devastated, you could see in her eyes that it was a living torment, unfortunately she passed away about 3 weeks later as well.

Anyways, my condolences and regards to you and your family, and despite the events, an optimistic future :)
