Darvin ,condolences to you and your Family in the loss of your Mom.

My mom died a couple of years ago at age 94. I sorely miss all the family history she took with her,especially her great memory. Fortunately I got her to write names on the back of many of the old pictures,many taken even before she was born. Sadly,most will probably go in the dump when I am gone, as the younger generation seem to have zero interest in family history.

Darvin,
This is so familiar. I lost mine in January and I understand each word you said.
My prayers are with you and yours. Because she was ready, you can rejoice. I miss my Mom everday and she is with Jesus now.

I've been through this profound event myself and I know how it feels down in your guts. There's nothing quite like it. Now do the things that must be done and do them well. Say the things that must be said and say them well. You'll be alright. God bless you brother

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We had a beautiful service for my Mom yesterday, saw a lot of friends and relatives I hadn't seen in years and years. Now to get our lives back to as normal as possible. There will never be a day for the rest of my life that I won't think of her.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Darvin, my deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mother. I can relate to how you feel about losing your best friend and fan. I lost my mom 26 years ago, and although the pain subsides, there isn't a day that I don't think about her even now, and I consider that a blessing. Peace be with you.

Darvin,
I too would like to send my condolences and prayers your way. My Mother is still alive but I lost my Dad several years ago so I know what loosing a parent is like. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think about him.

Praying for you and your family

Jim
