For My Mummy

Patricia Anne Ross
died on Sept . 30, 2005
at the home of her daughter
Jo

Pat was attended by Jo, Priscilla and Melissa (her daughters-in-law)
at her death.

Mrs Ross drew her last breath at precisely 11.00 PM EST

A fighter till the end she reluctantly let go of the life she cherished so much.

My mom though originally a city girl, could find the smallest speck of nature anywhere.
Perhaps that's why.
She loved the ocean, particularly Moody in Maine and Pacific Beach in California.
The best vacation I ever had with my mom was at Pacific Beach accompanied by my two daughters, her babies too.

We enjoyed long walks on the beach and daytrips to La Jolla and Laguna.

I proved my own strength to myself driving from Vegas to Cali over mountainous desert terrain in the dark. Terrain I'd never seen before.
On our return trip to Vegas to catch our flight in daylight, I was quite surprised to see where I had been.

I love you mom and hope you know how much you've given to me. Too many things to recall right now - there's more to come.

Please know that taking care of you for these last 6-7 months was never a burden though you felt it so.

I am honored to have done for you what I know you would have gladly done for me.

Rest in peace.

Love, Jo
