Annie L Sherrard: 1920 – 2009
Hello all,
This is Mr CnW. Why you ask? Well, I told Anne that she needed to let her blogging friends know what has been going on and she said she just couldn’t, so I volunteered.
Her Mom passed away last Friday (Oct 30th) after a relatively short illness. She was truly a great little lady. A wonderful Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother…and also, a heck of a golfer. It’s hard for us all to believe that just 3 months ago, she was out at her favorite golf course showing it who was the boss.
She will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her including Anne, her brother, three grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. But, we can all find comfort in knowing that she is now on the first tee with Anne’s father at the heavenly golf course where you never lose a ball or hit a bad shot.
She appreciated all your inquiries about her Mom’s illness and promises to be back blogging soon. In fact, I think she said she has to do one on the 5th for something or other. (It’s all “greek” to me!).
Thanks so much for supporting Anne.
Please tell Anne that my thoughts are with her, and all of you. Please give her a huge hug for me.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteAnne, . . . It's at times like this that I wish we could truly send hugs. . . but please know that I'm sending you mine & that you are in my thoughts & prayers.

I'm so sorry Anne. I hope you can take alittle comfort in that it wasn't a long drawn out illness. I wondered if that was why you had been MIA. I've missed you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother obviously loved to golf so for her, going to heaven will be like hitting a hole in one. You will miss her always but thankfully you can keep memories of her forever.
ReplyDeleteMy most sincere condolences to you and your family. To lose a family member is never easy and to lose a mother is one of the hardest - without warning my mother left me almost 11 years ago . . . it still hurts. I just remind myself that everyone has there time. - Marlene

Mr. CnW - thanks for letting us know. Please let Anne and her family know they are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my Mom in January after a long illness and it was difficult, so I'm understand.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I have thought of you and your mother often lately. I know just how difficult this journey is. I will continue to think of you and keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeletethat was so very kind of you to help Anne out by posting when she couldn't. I can understand how hoard it would be.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother - I know that you have a lifetime of good memories to lift you up... cherish those ;) and be thankful for all the years that you did get to enjoy your mom. I lost mine when I was 24 and just really starting life.
Love and hugs from Texas! ~bonnie
Oh Anne, my heart aches for you and your family. Please know you're all in our prayers. I am soooo sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Please take comfort in knowing that my family will be praying for yours to make it through this with dificult time. Blessings to you and yours, Brenda
ReplyDeleteAnne, my heart goes out to you. I lost my Mother in 1991 and she was only 67 yr old. I know how you ache right now. Know I am thinking about you and your family. Hugs, jane
ReplyDeleteDear Anne, May all the wonderful memories of your Mum be held in a special place in your heart. So sorry for your loss. from Jenny McH
ReplyDeleteDear Anne, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's death. It's such a tough time. One thing I learned after my father died was that even though the rest of the world seems to expect us to be "back to normal" once the funeral is over, we can be good to ourselves and accept that it's okay to be very sad, that this person was (and still is!) important enough to us that being sad is okay. But don't close family and friends out. You need their hugs right now.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Robin
What a beautiful picture from, I bet, around 1940. My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mom. I had read your past posts and knew she was not well. My Mom was born in 1920 also, but I lost her in 2001.....take care!
ReplyDeleteMy sincere sympathy Anne - may all the wonderful memories help you through this time.
