Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob's) Mother passed away 2:00 Central Time 8-27-2010

 

Robert Swetz is very sad because he didn't have the chance to say "Goodbye" to his Mother. I received a phone call yesterday from my sister saying our Mother's body was shutting down, and to wait a few days and see what happens.

Dorothy Swetz aka (Dorothy Gilbert) was a very loving mother and shall be very missed by all of us. She had been fighting "Cancer" for around 35 years and we all wondered how she continued to be so strong.

Dorothy (Dodie) came into our lives when our real Mother had left us when I was around eight years old, and even though Dodie was our step-mother I felt she was our real Mother because she was with us through all these years.

I will be heading to Minnesota to spend some time with our Father and dry his tears of joy & sadness, the joy that our father expresses is because he knows that Dodie has been relieved of the pain she has suffered in her years of sickness.

Here is a post I wrote yesterday and these types of posts are very difficult to write.

And for now all I can say is this post is for you Mom, "Goodbye" and Robert loves you!

 

Vegas Bob handles death very well but not when it's his mother!

So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom and that you didn't get to see her.  I am so happy you had been able to see her recently at the wedding.  I am sure she knew how much you loved and appreciated her.

I'm so sorry, Bob.  I know this must be just devastating.  I cannot imagine a 35 year battle with cancer, she was very brave and very strong.  At least she is no longer suffering, but I know that those of you left behind are suffering greatly.  Please let me know if I can help in any way.

VB, I am so sorry, so very sorry for you and your family. I am glad that you, Nu Nu and Sherry made it there as a family so she could see how happy you are, and Sherry had the chance to meet her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. What a wonderful woman to step in and take the role of mom to you. Nothing prepares us for the death of a parent, I found that out. I was shocked at the depth of my emotions, we assume that our parents will die, as they get older it becomes more of a reality. Then when it happens, wow.

Be well, take care, see you when you get back home.

...so sorry for your loss!  I received a call from hospice but didn't quite make it in time, either but I had taken excellent care of her for years so I regret it but I can live with it.

VB, I too am so sorry to hear this news.  I'm glad she is not suffering anymore but that doesn't mean those that are left behind will miss her any less.  Take care my friend, and take comfort in the family around you during this very sad time.
