Hello,

I thought I would share with you my mom's obituary. Thank you, everyone, for your support through the most difficult week of my life.

Sorry. I am removing the link. There were some hateful messages left in her guestbook by a troll.

4. Awwwwwwwww, such a lovely tribute!

I love how your mom was described, especially when she "decided on Dec. 25, 2020, that her work on Earth was done and that it was time to join her parted family in heaven for a spectacular Christmas celebration."

And I bet it WAS a spectacular Christmas celebration Upstairs.

((( Drunken Irishman ))) (I think that denotes hugs)

14. Beautiful tribute!

Ty for sharing!

Please take good care of yourself, my friend. Grieving is very hard work, physically as well as emotionally and psychologically.

I really urge you to seek out bereavement counseling, preferably through a hospice, as they will provide 13 months of support through your "year of firsts."

Hugs!

[pazzyanne]

[Gilbert Moore]

26. IF

If you need help or want / need someone to talk to PLEASE consider contacting a local hospice organization. Many provide free counseling for family even if they weren't a patient (for families with loved ones out of state).

Peace

[colorado_ufo]

27. Beautiful obituary.

I am so very sorry for your great loss.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

28. Lovely obituary & a lovely woman. I'm so sorry for your loss.

It sounds like her "bumps" in life made her stronger. Her life story would probably make a good book. Just from the beginning of her obituary, that she attended Catholic school, and was taught by Nuns while growing up in Salt Lake City, Utah. - yeah, I could read more. I had a similar but entirely different "interesting" life.

[seta1950]

29. I'm sorry for your loss

It is the hardest loss.

[nocoincidences]

30. That was a sweet tribute to your mother

So sorry you have lost an elder historian in your family.

[zeusdogmom]

31. So very sorry for your loss

Your mom must have been a wonderful, loving woman.

[MontanaMama]

32. I will raise a glass tonight to your dear mom.

I’m very sorry for your loss...may Patty’s memory be a blessing to you. These are difficult days to be sure.

[world wide wally]

33. Peace, my friend

[Karadeniz]

34. Lovely obituary... I feel like I knew her a bit! I'm sure she's very happy where she now is and who

Says she won't see her fellow Catholic and Democrat, Joe Biden, sworn in? She will if she wants to!

[samnsara]

35. ...that was such a beautiful tribute to her!

...(((hugs)))

[Demsrule86]

36. Did you write that? That is one of the most beautiful loving obituaries I have ever seen...

Your Mother was an amazing mother who shared love with all who knew her it seems...and raised a fine son (all were fine sons that I am sure)...May God grant you peace. I believe we are all reunited in the end...just my personal belief...I send blessings, and good wishes your way.


Dems... An angel for your Mom.

[dawg day]

37. Beautiful report on her life!

I love that you said she was a storyteller. That's a magical lady!

[Lulu KC]

38. I send you all my sympathy

[nuxvomica]

39. It's a fine one

I almost feel like I knew her. It's not the details that tell you as much about the person as the obvious love with which it was written. I'm sorry for your loss, Drunken Irishman.

[soldierant]

45. Very perceptive, and well stated.

[Hekate]

40. Peaceful crossing to her; peaceful heart to you

You have the strong spirit of her to accompany you as you navigate the coming years.

Very sorry for your acute loss.

[TruckFump]

49. What a beautiful lady.

[mia]

50. A beautiful tribute to your mother.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother passed away last year. Both of her grandmothers were Irish and she, too, enjoyed her Catholicism.

It sounds like your mother led life to the fullest and shared her joy with all who passed her way. A toast to her!

[DownriverDem]

51. Sounds like

a great lady. So sorry for your loss. In time your memories will be your comfort.

[Marthe48]

52. Your Mom was born same year as my sister

Rest in peace. Sorry your Mom is gone too soon, glad you knew and loved her.

[GentryDixon]

53. A lovely tribute to your beloved mom. ❤️

I'm sorry for your loss.

[Dem2theMax]

54. That was a heartfelt tribute, one that could only come out of love.

Your mom sounds like the kind of person we would all want to know, and aspire to be.

May she rest in peace with God, and all of her family and friends who have gone before her.

Hold on tight to the love while you grieve.
Her love will never leave you.
I learned that when I lost my mom and dad.

[peacebuzzard]

55. what a gorgeous lady, stunning in every way; an angel on earth.

beautiful description of a life well lived.
I am so sorry for this tremendous loss, Drunken Irishman.

[Historic NY]

56. Nicely written, may her memory be a blessing

I lost my father 52 yrs ago today, I've thought about his every day of my life.

[Lifelong Protester]

57. I am so sorry

For your loss I share your grief. I have now lost all of my family including my mom dad and husband. I am living with the one sister I have. She is it all I have. So I know how you feel.

[madaboutharry]

58. Maybe you could just post the words from the obituary.

And not the comments.

I would love to read about your mom.

Peace to you and those who loved her.

[LiberalLoner]

59. I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏

[Skittles]

60. imagine kind of person who leaves hateful messages in an obit

MAGAt, for sure

[Drunken Irishman]

61. Yes. Very personal attack, too. Likely knows me from here.

Some really vile stuff that I won't repeat. I had to lock the guestbook so the rest of my family doesn't see the awful things said (I deleted like four messages from this troll).

[Skittles]

62. very sorry about your mum, DI

my younger brother is in a nursing home and has tested positive for Covid - it did not have to be this way - I will NEVER forgive Trump voters, never

[Drunken Irishman]

63. Prayers to you and your brother. That's so scary.

[MustLoveBeagles]

64. That was a beautiful and heartfelt tribute

[Violet_Crumble]

67. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum...

I saw the obituary before you removed the link. She looks like an amazing woman and my thoughts are with your family

[chia]

69. So very sorry. Having known the overwhelming grief of that most difficult week with

both my parents - while I cannot know your grief, my heart hurts for yours. My parents also lived in their Catholic faith and I have sisters like your mom and cannot imagine the pain her sisters must also be feeling. Sending you much love.

[Firestorm49]

70. Very sorry for your loss.

[BusyBeingBest]

71. I'm sorry to hear about your mother--

peace to you and your family.

[Trueblue Texan]

72. So sorry....

I didn't get to read the obituary. could you message it to me?

I know this is painful and sad. My healing thoughts go out to you and your family.

[BobTheSubgenius]

73. I am even more sorry now.

I have that unknown and unimaginable hatred to carry in mind, as well. Perhaps there is a way you can see it as a badge of honour. Your liberalism has surely touched some raw nerves.

[PatrickforO]

74. May your mother have eternal rest in perpetual light.

I am very sad for you, and angry, that someone would post hateful messages on someone's obituary.

In the meantime, I am deeply sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose any loved one, but especially so a parent. Words cannot assuage your grief, I know, but the people on this site are here for you.

[malaise]

75. She was born on this day

[Mosby]

76. So sorry to hear about your mom.

[hunter]

77. My ancestors were not Mormon in Mormon country.

That's how three of my grandparents landed in California. They couldn't be Mormon. World War II handed them the opportunity to leave.

My last immigrant ancestor to the U.S.A. was a mail order bride to Salt Lake City from Scandinavia. She didn't like sharing a husband so she ran off with a monogamous Scots Irish Catholic guy the Mormons had hired as a surveyor. Possibly because Mormons were not good at math.

I have some great grandma letters to trusted relatives. OMG. She did not like Mormons, even as they'd saved her parent's ass's from worse shit in Europe.

Clearly your mom was a strong woman.

[andym]

78. Very sorry to hear about your loss

She looked so happy in the old photo of you and her in the other thread. May you always keep the fondest memories of her close at hand.

[Kimber432]

79. I am so very sorry.

May her memories carry you through your grief.
