My mother, Barbara Mary Routledge, passed away this morning.
9 years ago
My mother, Barbara Mary Routledge, passed away this morning at 6:10AM at my home, with my father, sister, and myself holding her. She was 18 hours short of her 70th birthday at the time.
She and my father were trying to buy a house near Brighton to spend their final years, after successfully selling their house in Florida, and the papers were due to be exchanged this Tuesday. My father still intends to go ahead, and the exchange of papers was due this Tuesday, but for various reasons it now looks like that will be delayed a few weeks, if it can go ahead at all.
My father arranged as much of his mother's funeral as he could, and he plans on doing same for his wife. At the moment the plan is for a cremation locally. Beyond that I don't know.

...you might want to mind your health a little closer for the next few weeks, just in case. Your family's too.
