This morning started out as a great day. I ran three miles on the treadmill, then did about 100 each push ups and sit ups. Then my world started the downward spiral for the rest of the day. My wife text me that my sister called her. So I called my sister. She informed me that my mom had stopped breathing and was taken to the ER. They got the pulse back but she was still not breathing on her own. The hospital flew her to Tulsa say they didn't have the means to care for my mom. After my sisters arrived at the hospital in Tulsa the Doctor's there informed my sisters that my mom was brain dead when she arrived that that there was nothing that they could do for her. The staff took my mom off the ventilator and she finally passed away at 6:51 tonight after a short bout with brain cancer.
This has been a hard three weeks for me. My mom has always been there for me when I needed her. From her letting me stay with her after my time in the Navy until I found my own place to live to being there when I went through my divorce. I will always carry my mom in my heart and miss her terribly

Your mom was special to many of us. I will never forget her smile and quirky sense of humor. I loved Aunt Betty very, very much!
