    After a long fought battle with various illness' my mom, Wendy Sabo, died today (6/22/05) at the age of 55 in Glens Falls Hospital. I grew up with my mom only, so she meant and still does mean the world to me.

    She had been confined to a wheel chair for the past 5 years (which she hated, but didnt let her slow down) and full of tubes for the past 6 months. This morning, after barely making it out of a septic (total body infection) condition Tuesday of last week and having things start to look VERY promising as to her healing, she suddenly pulled fluid into her lungs and passed at 10:30 am.

    I've posted a photo of her to commemorate her. This is the last photo I took before she started to get very sick this round.

    If you're religious, please pray for her. I believe she is happier now.

    If I am a bit absent from here, that is why. Her dream was to see my Buick built and having me drive it every day and I, now more than ever, fully intend on making that happen, no matter what it takes.

    Thank you for reading. Cherish your parents while you've got them, your time with them truely is limited.

    Edit: This actually happened on the 22nd, the day I posted this, not the 11th as it was in the thread previously. My head isn't on straight.

    Thoughts and Prayers With You

    Eric:

    Having just lost my father a few months ago, I know what you're going through. You have my prayers that God will give you the strength to look forward with a multitude of good memories.

    I also know that hospital very well - I did some work with them as a consultant several years ago. I'm sure that your mom received the best care they could provide.

    May the Good Lord hold you, and your family, in the palm of his hand.

    -Paul

    My mother left me 30 years ago and I still miss her terribly, but I have her locked up in my heart and that gives me comfort. I'm so sorry for your loss. Jim
