This has been the year from hell. First we lost my favorite aunt, who was like a second mom/best friend/sister all rolled into one. She and I talked at least once every day; sometimes several times. She passed away March 11, 2010.

We lost my mom June 24, 2010. She was 86 and died from breast cancer which metasticized first to her bones, then liver.

The day my mom passed away, one of her sisters was diagnosed with rectal cancer. She passed away July 26.

On October 18, we lost one of my nephews, who was only 22 years old.

hi sally, its been a tough year, it still hard to believe my mama is gone, i hurt so much inside everyday, but i know shes has no more pains, im trying to live life to the fullest everyday for her, my daddy is still hurting too, my sister laura was diagnosed with breast cancer the week before my mom died, it hurt all of us, but we didn't get the chance to tell her, but i know she knowa now. I promised my mom I will try and be strong and hold our family together. I love you mama.

My mom passed away in August 2010. I miss her so much. She was 83. We were all with her when she died so we have the comfort knowing that she wasn't alone. I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that she is gone. I loved her so much.

Barbara, Our moms were near the same age and passed away within a month of each other. We also were with Mom when she passed away. It was rough watching her go but I'm still glad I was there. I know that this holiday season will be rough, as it'll be our first without Mom. I'm not really looking forward to it. Take care.
