Remembering Our Mom

It has been a long time since our last post. Our family had a huge loss, as some of you already know. On November 7th Brandon's mom Yvonne passed away from cancer. We found out 2 and 1/2 years ago she had a form of lung cancer. She suffered a long time and she was a trooper through it all. Although, we knew her cancer was terminal (stage four) it was the hardest day as we stood around her hospital bed and the doctors turned off the machines that had supported her life for the previous two days. Brandon's dad and all her boys and wives were at her bedside. It was very emotional and too surreal. We miss her so much. Everyday it feels like we relive that moment and it again becomes reality that she has passed. She use to call me in the mornings, if the phone rang before 8:00 am I knew it was her. I use to get frustrated when the phone calls would wake me up, now I lie awake some mornings wishing my phone would ring and all that had happened was just a dream. Life has certainly been different for our family and especially for Brandon's dad. But, we hold tight to our beliefs. We know she is working hard on the other side and we will again be together as a family and live together forever. Until then we hold tight to all the memories we shared with her. You can check out a video done in memory of her at woodfuneralhome.com, go to the obituaries and scroll down to her name and click on it. Again we appreciated every ones words of support and we are grateful for having such a great circle of family and friends. Thank you all.
