This morning at 2:24 a.m., Suzy was with Mom when she took a deep hard breath. Suzy went to the bed and asked Mom if she was okay. There were no more breaths. Mom left us quietly and peacefully.

When I arrived at Suzy's this morning she told Cameron to tell me what he said when he woke up and Grandma was gone. Cameron told me that our spirits live forever and can never be harmed. Even if a bullet went through our spirit, it wouldn't hurt it. What a smart kid.


Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support over the last two years. It has been the blessing of our lives to love our mother through her illness. We've always known she was stubborn, but through these past months she has shown herself stronger than anyone I've ever known. I'm so proud to be her daughter.

Stackus Funeral Home in Boyne City is handling Mom's arrangements. On Friday there will be visitation from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Another visitation at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday at Trinity Fellowship Church will immediately precede the funeral at 11:00 a.m. The obituary will appear on the funeral home website and the Traverse City paper tomorrow. I will update you with links when they are available.
