I have some sad news. My mom who was battling with pancreatic cancer passed away on Saturday. Her health declined very quickly early last week. Our family is devastated, especially her 8 grandchildren. She stayed at home and passed away in the comfort of her own house surrounded by family.
I was fortunate to see her very often and spend time with her daily. Both my sister and I were able to share some time with her that we will cherish every day.
Her funeral will be held on Wednesday. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support over the last couple of weeks. A special thanks to all of our family members that stayed with her and helped her through out her battle-you know who you are. We could not have done this with out you.
Rest in peace mom. We love you.

Oh my gosh, Sasha, I am so incredibly sorry. I felt a "sick to my stomach" pain when I clicked on your blog to see your update and read the title of your post. I cannot even believe what you and your family are going through right now.
I know there are no words that can make things any easier, but please know that so many people will be thinking of you guys and saying prayers for you all!!!!

My thoughts are with you at this time. The only nice thing that comes with cancer is it gives you plenty of time to say good bye and have no regrets but it is still such an awful thing. Lots of love and hugs from me!!!
Sasha, I am so sorry to hear this. You guys have been through so much and your strength always amazes me. I hope you find comfort and peace throughout this difficult time. Now Wysdom has a special guardian angel looking over him! I will continue to pray for your mom and your entire family.
Oh, I'm so sorry for the loss after such a hard fought battle. I can't believe that her spirit is anywhere other than poured over those cherished grandbabies and the family she loved so much...and I can't think of a truer definition of heaven for a woman who so clearly adored her family. Thinking of you all during such a difficult time...

I've been absent for awhile and an just seeing this. I am so sorry, Sasha. I'm praying for you this evening. I hope today was a celebration of her life in the midst of the sorrow. Wish I could hug you IRL, but cyber hugs will have to do.
Sasha, I am thinking of you and your family today, wishing you peace.

Sasha, I don't know how I missed this post. I know there is not much I can say to ease your pain but know this; I have walked in your shoes over 15 years ago. I know the pain and if you need to talk or vent please email me. {{{BIG HUGS}}}
Sasha, I am so, so sorry to hear about your mom! May God bless you and give you a peace about this situation. It is never easy losing a parent. I know I lost my dad this past September. Always remember that she is in a much better place where there is no sickness or pain and may you find comfort in the knowledge that you will one day see her again. ((HUGS))
I am so sorry to hear your news, hold tight to your wonderful memories, they are to be cherished!
