At 12:20 AM Central Standard Time this morning, December 7, 2003, my mother, Jeanette, lost her battle with cancer. I can take solice in the fact that she is no longer in pain and that, at least for cancer, her battle was not as prolonged as it might have been.
She was the guiding light of my life, my hero and my best friend and the depth of my sorrow knows no bounds. But this is not about me. It is about letting you, her KickAS friends know the news.
She loved you all: the ones she had met, the ones I had only told her about, and even the ones who's names she had never even heard. She loved you because you were my friends and you were always here for me when I needed support. That was the depth of her love for me and gives you just a slight glimpse at the sadness within my heart.
I am typing this on a very kind friend's computer and will obviously not be at work for a good while. I tell you this, because it will probably be 2004 before you hear from me again.
I'm PMing both Lori (Sassy) and Michelle with the details of mother's funeral arrangements, if anyone should wish to know. The funeral will be Wednesday at 2:00 PM CST. Please say a prayer for me, my family, and most importantly my Mom, if you think about it, at this time.
I love you all dearly,
Johnny
