Steph74 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I always hoped I would never have to post in this category, but here I am. My beautiful, courageous mother passed this morning at 6:30 AM, she died with me by her side. She was strong and independent until the very end - as she was throughout life. I will post more later, I still can't believe this happened.... http://www.mem.com/Story.aspx?ID=2252154 (Mom's everlasting memorial) The following is the obituary: Jackie L Anderson, age 56, passed away at home January 21, 2008 after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She is the beloved mother of Stephanie (Andy) Blake, devoted grandmother of Sofia. Fond sister of Brenda (Scott) Mueller, Colleen (Doug) Hall, & Leon (Debra) Coberley. Daughter of Leon & Arlene Coberley. In lieu of flowers contributions to the Lungevity Foundation www.lungevity.org or Working to Cure Ataxia www.cureataxia.org would be appreciated.

ErinC1973 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh, Stephanie! I am so sorry about your precious mom. She did lots of amazing things in the short time during her diagnosis and treatment. What a warrior she was. I am sad this happened just shy of her two-year mark. I can tell by the way she wrote in her journal, she was just like my mom. God bless her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
