I realize I was a little cryptic in the San Diego thread and that was a little unfair to only infer. Besides, I like to think of myself with friends with most the posters on this board, or at least acquaintances, so I'll share:
My fiance's mother passed away Saturday morning after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. She only recently had become ill, in the last two weeks, so it all happened very sudden. We suspect she was suppressing/hiding the pain for some time now since our wedding is in 7 weeks.
Its been a very tough two days, and I'm sure it will stay that way for awhile. But we're okay, and we'll get through it.
Thanks for all the thoughts. We're Irish, so that means we're big on celebrating life as a major part of our grieving process. And all her family is together and we have many friends with us too.

Des, my deepest sympathy to you and the future Lady Cobalt. Losing a loved one is never easy but I'm happy to hear that you can celebrate her life while you mourn her passing.
Lots of hugs, prayers and good wishes coming your way CK!

Save a spot in the pews, I'm sure Mom's spirit will be there for the wedding. Sorry for your and the lady's loss and best wishes as you carry on.

It was great to get to meet you in person and I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time with you and I was truly sorry to hear about Lady Cobalt's mom.
You have a family here on Legion World and we care about you and your loved ones.
Love, John

Things you wish would never happen to anybody, especially a good friend like you, and Lady C... If I were Lady Cobalt's mother, I think I would have tried to hide the pain, too; it's particularly sad that she couldn't have been at your wedding, but at least she knew it was well under way and that her daughter had found a wonderful guy.
Deepest sympathies to you and yours from the Cramer family.
So I'll just send these e- s to you and your future Missus. Prayers and best wishes, as well, and the knowledge that her Mom's going to have the best seat in the joint on your big day.
