Ron,

My deepest sympathies on your loss. You are very fortunate that you were able to share her last moments.

I feel for you: I too have a mother who appreciates my kilt. She was very impressed when she attended my wedding last month. I don't like to think of it much, but I will probably wear it to her funeral (she has lymphoma, and while we remain hopeful of many more years, we are pragmatic about the odds of it).

So I understand, and send my condolences for your loss. Know that you have the thoughts and prayers of others.

I send my condolences, Ron. You'll be in my thoughts. I must say, 85 is a pretty hardy age for most anyone. It sounds to me to be testament of a very determined human being. Very touching to know that she was able to see the Scott tartan and receive pleasure from it. It sounds as though it may be very fitting for the funeral services.

Having recently lost my mother-in-law at 87yrs and knowing it was coming, I understand how your last few weeks have been. My condolences to you.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, Ron. It's clear that you loved and honored your mother to the end, and did what you could to comfort her.

I haven't had to personally experience the loss of a parent, although my mother is battling cancer right now with a poor outlook. She hasn't seen me yet in the Gordon, but she will next time I visit her. I hope it brightens her day the way your Scott did for you mother.

I admire your honesty and your compassion

Ron,

I think you honored her by being there when she passed. I'm sure you brought her comfort and a sense of peace. Once again the circle of life makes another completion.

My condolences.

So sorry to hear that Ron, my mother is 86, still going strong, amazing since she smoked until she was 70, then gave it up. Still, 85 is a good run, you must miss her.
