In the middle of August, Dave's mom passed away. She had been battling breast cancer for six years. It all happened very quickly, which is a blessing, but also took us by surprise. The weekend I headed to Utah to visit family and for Josh and Tara's wedding, she took a turn for the worse. She went to the hospital and to make a long story short, her liver had started to fail and they put a time frame on her life. They said she only had a couple of days or weeks to live. I wish that I could have been there but I did get to talk to her for a little bit on the phone a couple of days before she passed away. Dave, all five of his brothers, Tara, and Dad were all by her side when she passed. I'm glad they were all there. I know that's how she would have wanted it.
Her funeral was on August 21st. There were so many family members and friends that came. It was a very beautiful ceremony and burial service. She was a wonderful lady and I learned so many things from her. Thankfully through most of her cancer years she was able to maintain a normal lifestyle and never had to slow down much but was able to keep up with her busy life. I'm grateful that I got to spend so much time with and know her for as long as I did. I love her and will miss her a lot.

She was a sweet woman who I was lucky enough to meet. :)
