Mom passed away in the early morning hours yesterday.  She waited for Denise and I to go to bed and then peacefully slipped away.  We were at her side till near close to the end and then realized that her strong heart wanted to do it on her own.  We left for our hotel to get some rest and she passed a little over an hour later.  We think that was her plan all along.

We feel blessed to tell you that as we said our good-byes and told her goodnight, she had a radiant glow about her.  Her soul looked at peace.  She was ready.

Funeral arrangements are pending with Hauser-Hantge Funeral home in Fairfax Minnesota.

Thank you for supporting us during this really difficult time.  We appreciated your kind words and prayers.

Scott and Denise
