Wayne...I wish there was something I could do, or say that would be of any help at all.

I'm glad that I (along with many others here) was able to offer her cheer during a difficult time, and that she found happiness in the fact she had folks all over the world pulling for her.

Well said Graugeist. Wayne, please add my well wishes to all those that have so far expressed support. We are all thinking of you and your family at this time.
 
Continue to cherish every moment. Njaco summed it up for me too. I was reading though some of this thread yesterday, started remembering my mom, and couldn't even post anything. Words fail, but my heart is there for your family.
 
Wayne, I don't know how to express this. Here I sit at my PC with my eyes tearing up for someone I've never met, never spoken to and don't think I've even seen a picture of. Yet something, a part of me, goes out to you and your mum, hoping for the best and if not, then for the least trouble and pain. You both have become a part - albiet a small part - of this 50 yr old New Jersey resident's life. The internet is an amazing thing and maybe this is the true purpose - to find a shoulder to lean on. We're here for you both.

Your comments sum up a lot of what is so fantastic about this forum, please be assured that Mum was in AWE of the fact that people around the world thought so much of her with Prayers and wishes.....and from so many people that she didn't even know. THAT cheered her up SO MUCH!

It is with a heavy heart that I now tell you that Mum has finally lost the battle she fought so long and so hard to beat.....She passed away at approximately 7.45am this morning, a little over 12 hours ago (8pm now)

I'm trying really hard to hold back the tears as I type this, but I'm not winning....the hospital called me at 7.35 and said I should get there quickly, but I was in the middle of a job that took the longest 15 minutes ever and then I headed there as quickly as possible, got there by 8.10 but was too late, she was gone....wouldn't have made it had I gone straight away anyway....Friggin' devastated none the less.

Chris, Mum wasn't much for pictures so I don't have many, especially any with both Mum and I....I searched and found one of us together, Christmas of 2007 and one other from then, the last one from April 2009, you can see a real difference in appearance over 16 months....
I hope Mum doesn't mind me posting these shots......

I can understand what you're going through, having been through the same thing myself, with both of my wife's parents, and my own Dad. We are praying for you and your family, Wayne; hold tight to your family, you'll help each other get through the next few weeks. And we, as your Internet Family, are here for you as well.
 
I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. Thank you for posting the pictures. What a lovely lady. I'm sitting here crying my eyes out for a woman I have never met before. But because of this thread, and the fact that I too, like many here, lost their mom to cancer, I feel a common bond.

Please know your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers and let us know if you need something.....anything.

Now, I'm off to get a tissue and to explain to the wife why I'm sitting here crying.
