Dear List,
My dear Mother Frances Keezer died Saturday August 14,
2004 at 8:00 PM.
I am deeply grieved for her loss.
She died peacefully with out pain after a struggle
that last two months with shingles and cancer. She had
courage to live and fought a good fight till the end.
I was with her every day since May 18th and I did'nt
have time to keep you updated.
Mom was in the hospital and later transferred to a
nursing home. She came home from there July 28 and
complications forced me to return her to the hospital
August 7th .
Mother's last word's were "Please get me out of here
(the hospital)and take me home "Wednesday Aug 11. Her
doctor told me she was dying August 12 and I took Mom
home the 13th.
She got to finally come home for good as she wished.
Mom died Saturday the next day at 8:00 PM August 14
peacefully.
Mom's courage and will to live was with her to the
end.
Her suffering is over and my loss is great as Mom is
my best friend .
I lived with her the last 14 years as some of you know
and now that she is gone to be with the Lord.
There's a great ache in my heart . I will never
forget my wonderful Mother .My love for her will never
end.
I know now Mother isn't in pain and is in heaven with
Jesus and reunited with her family now, of whom, most
died before I was born.
I finally understand why she spoke of them so well ,
especially her own mother often all her life.
Mother and I lived together in the same house she
bought new in 1955 42 of my 52 years.
Mom lived a simple life and it was always a fun to
have Mom along on Westfalia roadtrips. She loved to
stay in motels with swimming pools.
We went to the East coast to see her hometown of new
Britain Connecticut after 50 years and to Canada .
Mom's last campout was with the Wetwesties in 2003 at
Penrose Point State park.
Mom's funeral is this Saturday starting 8:00 at St
Philomena Church in Des Moines , Washington at 9:00
AM. It will be a regular service with euologies at the
reception following her burial at Gethsemane cemetary.
Open viewing will be at 8:00 AM.
I'll have the information on the answering machine
later today if any of you who knew Mom or me wish to
come or offer consolation .
Thankyou for each of you who have offered your prayers
and support through this the hardest time of our
lives.
It means a lot to me .
Please keep me in your prayers
Sincerely,
Robert Keezer
