Jack of Harts

I buried my mom yesterday. Surrounded by family and friends. We had a good service with good music. We dug the hole and placed her in the ground. We ate some food and talked about her life. She’s not in pain anymore. That is a great blessing. And now it is time to go forward with life. There is life after death after all. We all go on. We all move on. My work, my family, and my friends have all helped me a great deal during this difficult time. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done. I don’t know where I would be right now without you. Know that you have all made a difference. I will not forget.

Mom loved the lake country of Northern Minnesota. She grew up there, she swam in the lakes as a child, and when life took her away from that region, she continued to return in her adult life. She loved to visit her brother Duane, and the lake he lived on until his death. She loved spending time on lakes, and her screensaver was filled with pictures of them to remind her. Here she is pictured with her brother Arlan, on his boat. She loved the water. She loved boats. And I have no doubt she is spending time on the water right now.

Mom’s obituary will be running in the Fergus Falls Daily Journal on Wednesday. A death notice will run in the Rochester Post Bulletin on Saturday. Both papers are down to two publications per week now, which limits the exact availability of print times. Her full obituary is also available at epilogg, where you can find directions to the service on Saturday.
