You may remember a couple of weeks ago on the West Brom Match Day thread I posted that I'd been in the local hospital all afternoon with aged mother and that it was a case of when and not if, well sadly the when was yesterday afternoon. She'd been in a deep sleep since Monday of last week and receiving palative care, in a way it was the best way to go as she simply went to sleep and never woke up....... She missed out on reaching her 101st birthday by just 12 days......

Although sad I'm ok with it all, she had a memorable life and lived far longer than anyone could imagine, being independent until 97 when a couple of falls took their toll, the last year wasn't great as she became more dependent on carers and was confined to a wheel chair, but when you get to that age you can't really expect to be in top notch health.......

We do things quickly here, and her cremation is tomorrow in Cork...... If you get a chance raise a glass around 3 o'clock.

Cheers all......

So sorry to read this, a great innings. Deepest sympathy for your loss...
