Jim's mother, Ernestine, passed away last week. We made it back to Minnesota in time to say goodbye. She was cremated and there was a gathering at the Wyoming Community center in her honor. She was able to die in her home which was her final wish and she was well cared for and in no pain when she left us. Her leukemia was no longer treatable and an infection set in that her body couldn't fight.
We can't say enough for the wonderful home care she had for the last two years. The company that provided the help is called A Time For Help. We felt comfortable traveling knowing that her helpers were there with her. Many of the helpers became good friends of Ernies. They provided some of the memories of Ernie at her gathering. It was really wonderful.
A rock garden is being created in her honor on her friend Craig's property. He owns Greenworld Greenhouse in North Branch. She had so many rocks that he could build another Mount Rushmore if he had the energy. We are very grateful that she had so many wonderful friends along with family that loved her.
We are sorry we didn't get to visit everyone while we were in Minnesota. We had to rush back to the campground to finish out our contract and get ready to head south. I'm sure we will swing through Minnesota in the future.
