My sincere condolences on your loss.
Lost my mother at the same young age of 72 and I always wished I had had another decade with her.

Sorry for your loss, Bochiman. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

My sincerest condolences. We've had our clashes here, though at the heart of the matter, there is kinship.

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother in 2011 although she had really passed on a couple of years before that because of dimentia which left her with no way to communicate with the outside world. Losing your parents is always hard.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. It may seem like little consolation at this particular time, but it sounds like she left a great legacy. You are fortunate to have so many happy memories.

It is never the right time to lose your mother, and your loss definitely came far too soon. To paraphrase a famous author: don’t be sad that they are gone, be happy that they were here. (Probably not the words you need to hear right now, but perhaps someday they may help).

Ron -

So very, very sorry to hear this. I lost my mom 18 years ago, but I think of her EVERY SINGLE day.

Your mom raised a good son. May she live in your heart forever.

I just have one 1945 coin, so I dug out for her. 1945 was clearly a very good year.

This Merc is very blue, which is likely how you feel right now. Anyway, here's a quickiPhone pic, in her honor. Bless her heart.

Take care -
Dave

Terrible news. You sounded upbeat in our PM's. I'm very sorry to hear the sad news. It's heartbreaking.

I lost both my parents 5 weeks apart and I wasn't the same for a long time.

Bochiman

Thank you, one and all. I truly never expected this amount of love.
you all are great!

As I wind through things, I will get back online more. Right now, my time and attention is largely elsewhere.

@Dave99B - thank you for the effort of digging that out. I had forgotten that, while she liked the WLH design, she had attempted, probably due to her mother, to collect the Mercury Dimes...and they were one of her favorites as well.
I need to find a photo of one I had purchased, also a 1945, from Airplanenut a few years back and post that picture.

Again, thank you all. I know others have gone through the same, and worse, though I truly hope that no one has to go through it like this (there are things I am not posting that make it worse than it should have been at the end, but this isn't the right time nor place to discuss those issues).

Bless you all.

So sorry for your loss. Hits close to home with my mom born in 1946.

May she rest in peace and you find the comfort in the memories.

Very sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

Not to many female collectors in those days. It's interesting that you, as a collector today. have those special memories of your mom and grandma. Cherish those special memories and remember those good times

Nysoto

Sorry, this is always heartbreaking

The loss of a parent is very difficult, but time will bring
healing soon. Your mother & I were born the same year.
I've lost both my parents long ago and my wife is undergoing
chemotherapy now. These are all part of life. I wish you a
speedy recovery from these trying times.

stevereecy

She sounds like a good woman. Sorry for your loss. I wish I coin to post. When my Dad died, I found it helped to take little mental vacations away from the sorrow. It's OK to distract yourself for a few hours with something you like doing. Try to do that...it helps.

So sorry for your loss, Bochiman.

Bochiman,
I'm very sorry to hear about your mother! My mother left too early at the age of 55 and I miss her to this day! Remember all the good times and know she will always be in your heart.
