I’m sad to add a new post to my blog after so long with this news. My mom passed away on Monday May 7th at 1:45 pm eastern time. Her passing was related to her 3+ year long struggle with breast cancer. She fought hard and courageously. We are all very proud of her.

She was a wonderful woman. A loving wife, a caring mother and a devoted daughter. She leaves behind her husband, two sons Damon and Scot, and daughter Melissa.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking that donations be made to Community Hospice of North East Florida or St. Giles Presbyterian Church of Orange Park Florida. Community Hospice is a wonderful organization. Dad wanted to care for mom in the house and they did a great job helping to make that happen. My parents church, St. Giles, was tremendously helpful. Troy Lewis (the pastor) went out of his way to care for my parents and the family. He is living into his call and doing it well.

It was sad, but it was also beautiful to watch my dad love and care for my mom during this time. We celebrated with her, we mourned with her, and we will miss her.
