bald guy in a blanket Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 For those of you who knew what my mom was going through I just thought I'd let you know... Betty Dorothy Ann Jones 1938-2003 She passed away quietly this past Saturday afternoon at 5:30pm. Earlier that day I was having a conversation about families and parents with a family friend and I couldn't think of a single thing that I wished she had done differently while raising me. I thought this was quite exceptional considering many of the family situations I know of. She was truly one of the great ones. I guess the main reason I posted this was to ask if anyone had any good vibes lying around (or even some mediocre vibes frankly) to send down here Toronto way. Thanks, Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Hey all. Jeff and I just spoke on the phone. He's in good spirits under the circumstances, and personally I know he appreciates the vibes very much. Thank you all, and Jeff, you know we're thinking of you and your father and sister. Take care, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shainhouse Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Cancer does suck bro. A super person who is very close to me has been battling it for five years and I don't know what I'd do with myself if I lost this person. Just keep smilin' and remember that your mom loves you, no matter where she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cANDYmAN Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 My condolensces, friend... keep your stick on the ice!!! You have the right idea... mourning and sadness are usually the first emotions to hit you, but when you can turn it into a celebration, a celebration of the good they've done for you and the ones around you, then their memory lives on. A round of West Coast hugs to you and your family in these tough times!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Work like ya don't need the money, Love like ya never been hurt, dance like - nobody is watching" I hope the days ahead for you and your family will great brighter soon.

Jaimoe Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 My best wishes to you and your family Jef. I lost both my father and a friend to cancer 6 years ago; it feels like it was yesterday. Try to remember the good times. Your mother's spirit will always be with you. She's with you right now. My father speaks to me every day - he's funny, loud, stubborn, gives advice, critical at times, emotionally supportive, demanding, thoughtful and always loving in his own way. Inherited traits and qualities that pass down to us from are parents make us who we are, and it is proof that the souls of our fathers and mothers never really die, they live on in our beings. Whenever you feel down, either today, tomorrow or even in the next few years, pick up your guitar and play that thing like no one's business. It's the best therapy. At least it is for me.

PalacePrincess Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 i am truly sorry to hear of your loss. it sounds like your mom was a very special lady, and you have lots of good memories to cherish. it may be hard to be without her here, but i'm sure she will be with you in some form, always. and while i know this is easy to say, hopefully knowing she is no longer in pain will help even the tiniest bit with your healing. very good vibes to you and your loved ones.
