To all the fine folks here who've been my main diversion through a long trying time for me, whether you know it or not. We installed Mom in a hospice facility this afternoon. She will soon be at peace, pain free, and with my Dad- the original Savage nut. Feeling pretty blue at the moment. The gun talk is a balm to my soul (and the scotch will hopefully get me to sleep tonight, I hope).

I'm so sorry Gary. Very difficult time for you. You get ahold of me any time if you need to talk or whatever.

I know what you're saying. My mother has been gone for years and I just found out her youngest sister who is now 98 is going fast. We know we're all going sooner or later but it's still hard to deal with.

Sorry to hear about your mother Gary, loosing a parent is hard. But I’m sure she had a good life and raised a great son. As Roy said, the line is always open so always feel free to call. Take care, you and your mom are in our thoughts and hearts.

I'm sorry to hear this Gary. Even though we know getting old and passing on is a fact of life, it still doesn't make it any easier.

Gary, so sorry! As you said, pain free though.
I lost my mother last Jan, we were able to care for her in her Senior apartment in her final days. She was ready to be with Jesus.
I'll say a prayer or 3 for your mother.

Never easy watching a part of your life going away. My prayers are with you and all of your family. Mother nature and Father time are always in control, so enjoy the time.

her trials are over Gary,
now set yourself to honor her memory. thank you for including us as friends and please accept out sympathies.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

Sorry to hear old friend. I'll contact you by other means.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
