In Loving Memory of Judy Ann Hill

Lee's Mom passed away on June 8th, 2011. Before she passed we were able to go to Michigan and see her one last time. The first day we got there she was coherent enough to know that we were there with her, but after they placed her into hospice, she was pretty much incoherent. She was placed on Hospice on May 25th and the Dr.'s gave her only hours to days but she fought and held on for 2 more weeks. Lee and I came home, because we didn't know how long it would take, and it was so hard waiting day to day for that phone call. It was almost a relief when we finally did get that call because we had the peace of knowing that she was no longer suffering.

While we were visiting her, it gave Lee's family the opportunity to all be together. They haven't all been together since his Dad died in 2005.  It was so nice to be able to see everyone again, even though it wasn't under the best circumstances. 

This is Lee with his Uncle Dave, His brothers Fred & Rob, and his sister Nan. (missing from this picture is Lee's brother Darrell)

She was buried on such a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the skies were blue. She was buried in the national cemetery in Holly Michigan with Lee's Dad Al. That cemetery is so beautiful and is such a peaceful place.

 Lee called his Mom almost every weekend. I know there will be times where he finds himself reaching for the phone to call her and then have the painful reminder that he can't. We will miss her, but we are so thankful to have the knowledge of eternal families and know that we will see her and Lee's Dad again. We are thankful they have been reunited.
