Losing parents...

That's terrible news, Armistead. You have my deepest sympathies.

Never easy to lose a parent. We all know that the day will come, but it is still horrible.

Very sorry to hear this. I hope that when her time comes, she can pass with dignity and little pain.

My father died when I was 14, my mother when I was 25. They were tough times, but the quiet and lonely holidays that followed were far worse. It wasn't until I met my wife and started my family that I began to feel whole again. You have my sympathies.

Oh, man, Arm - I am honestly sorry; it seems like yesterday sometimes that I had to do almost the same as far as dealing with my mom's illness and passing - I know where you're standing right now, and I know how hard this is.

You and your family are in my thoughts here, for what that's worth.

My deepest sympathies, Armistead.

My sincere condolences Armistead. I lost my father to cancer 13 years ago this month.

My father passed away 1 year ago tomorrow...March 11th 2010. Heart attack.

My wifes parents passed at age 50 (mom) and 55 (father). Both cancer.
