Alison (Sis's daughter) had to catch a plane back to Portland this morning early and Jen was kind enough to drive her. Before she left she had a good chance to visit with Mom and I could tell she was extremely broken up about her condition. Then, Katy (My & Jeanette's daughter) headed back to Michigan and her oh-so-patient medical student husband Clayton who has supported his wife being gone this entire week. Jen also drove Katy to the airport.
Mike was here all day and we held out hope that Mom could hold on until his daughters Alena & Jodi Lynn could make it to Salt Lake on Monday & Tuesday. But, after a hard evening Mom passed away this morning at 12:05 am surrounded by her kids. She will surely be missed as the glue / magnet / leader of our family since Dad passed away in 1999. We also rejoice knowing she is in a better place and with all of those who were waiting for her on the other side of the veil. Imagine the celebration going on in heaven as she meets with all of her loved ones!!
We want to express our love and appreciation to all those who have visited / called / sent emails / commented to Mom - we have read her every one. We will have arrangements made for her funeral services. We have chosen Russon Brothers Mortuary in Bountiful handle her services and will post when the viewing and funeral will be as soon as it is available.

Bonnie was so considerate, even with her death. She told me she did want it to happen during the holidays. Thank you for keeping us informed. I miss here so much already.
