March 22, 2022: The day Mom passed away

I posted this announcement to social media on March 22, 2022, the day Mom died.

Mom… the kindest, most loving, caring, strong, supportive, smart, funny, courageous, generous, and beautiful person. My mother, my biggest supporter, my advocate, my punching bag, my cheer leader, and my friend. 
 
Words will truly never explain how much you mean to me… to all of us who you loved and who loved you. You were the calm and positivity in tough situations. The humour in the unfunny. The glue to our family.
 
Mom, you’ve taught me to be kind above all else. To love with my whole heart. To be strong when it feels like strength is impossible. To trust my gut and follow my heart. To believe that I can achieve whatever I put my mind to.
 
You didn’t get enough time with us, and I will never ever understand why. But I know you will watch over us from afar, and will live on in our hearts and our memories. Dad, Chris, Jenn, Jeff, Graham, Alice, and I love you more than words can describe. My (future) child(ren) will not have met you in the flesh but we will all make sure they know their Gramma, and know how much you love them.
 
Thank you for being the best mom in the world, and for shaping me into the woman I am today.

I love you, more, Mom. Rest in Peace.

Mom passed away early this morning surrounded by her family.
