My mother had a stroke. It paralyzed her right hand, caused serious mobility issues to her right leg and affected her speech. She put up a good fight to stay on her feet and continued to help us by folding clothes or shutting off the oven for many years. But her situation depressed her… so she kind of wound down slowly over the years. In March 2004, the first signs of lymphoma appeared. She went on for another 12 years. In 2015, my father, her husband of 49 years, passed away in front of her. After that, her soul just gave up and on August 17, 2016 she died, finally resting from pain of the lymphoma and reuniting with my dad. Thank you

That must’ve been difficult for Jamie to see his wife so alive and healthy, and to know he only had a short time to live at this point.
