Journal entry by Sheila Grove —
Dear Family and friends,
Mom completed her journey on earth at 1:45am today. Thursday, we had a beautiful day with mom. During one of her wakeful moments, the 4 of us were able to share in the most intense, emotional experience. It was then that she expressed her great love for us and that it was “time” and we said our goodbyes. She then slept peacefully until she took her last breath. We are profoundly proud of her courage, bravery and unwavering dignity until the very end. Throughout this process she was SO intentional in letting each of us know how important we were in her life. We will always be grateful for the moments we had with her. We thank you all for following us on this journey.
We intend to celebrate her life in the Spring when the sun shines and the flowers bloom.
Love,
The Girls
Laura, Kate and Sheila
