Some called her Gloria Dawn and knew her as the roughest, toughest, machinegun-toting granny to ever come out of Amish Country. Last night, the feistiest gun moll was mercifully called back to Heaven...

She had two boys. Her oldest son grew up tall, handsome, and strong...

The other one just wanted to be a cowboy...

Goodbye Mom.

Really sorry to hear that Dave.
I'd say she raised a cowboy any mother'd be proud of.
-
My sincere condolences.

My sincere condolences to you Dave and to Mila. Losses are especially hard around holidays. I'm sure she will always be looking down on you both.

My heartfelt condolences to you both Dave & Mila.
Thank you for a beautiful, and moving, tribute to a lovely lady.
They leave us too soon, & we feel empty, but their love is still a big part of us.
It is so much worse on the holidays, however it does get better, not easier, just better.
I'm 12 years older than Mom ever lived to be, 30+ Christmases on I still miss her mightily.
Should we hope they are, or are not, telling each other tales of us?

Marian Margaret Rollin, née Plants, always told me "It's better to be a Smartass than a dumbass"
Master Sergeant Greathouse retorted, "Yeah, but either can getcha killed"
They were BOTH right...

A really sad news, doubly tragic in a time when people should only share joyful moments.
My condolences to Dave & Mila.
-
Condolences, and find what joy you can through the holidays.

Toutes mes plus sincères condoléances.

The good memories stay, long after the hurt diminishes, but it doesn't seem so at the time.
All the best to you both

Condolences to you both. How very sad this or any time of year. The pain will ease slowly. The following always makes me feel better. Hope it does you.
You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you'd hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him/her that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let him/her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her/his eyes, that those photons created within her/him constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you'll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they'll be comforted to know your energy's still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you're just less orderly.

Sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.
-
Thanks, everyone. Mila and I truly appreciate your kindness.
-
She will be with you in spirit in every Pulp game, she will be the Fortune Card making players clap their hands, laugh, or shake their head ruefully, and she will watch down on you and Mila and smile and be proud. Nothing makes a parent happier than to know their son has brought joy to the lives of others...

I can only echo what every one else here has said. You are not, are never, alone in your grief.
