A Great Lady has just died

[TinaT]

I visited the nursing home today to give mum her lunch and found her as I thought, fast asleep. When I tried to wake her up I realised that she had died. God bless the lovely woman who was my mum

My son wrote on his facebook page the following:

A great, feisty and powerful lady has just died. My grandmother, Ivy Todd, who passed away this lunchtime. A working class woman thro and thro, I think it would please her to know she outlived Thatcher, even by a day.

It sounds like your Mother died peacefully. You have been a wondeful daughter to her and your son seems to be following the family trait. You have my sympathy for your loss. Remember her and smile.x.x.

Dear Tina,

So sorry to hear your news. No matter how prepared we might be, it is always a shock. Loved your son's comments! Your mum sounds like a wonderful woman and as they say, the apple doesn't fall from the tree. You have been with her throughout her journey even when you were having to manage a lot of pressures at the same time. You are an example to us all, Tina.

Take Care,

Fiona

My mum was quirky, funny, unpredictable, generous, awkward and difficult. She didn't take well to illness, bossed me around, was irritable, and completely hated being at the mercy of anyone. Alongside this she had all the problems which having Az brings in its wake and at times I found her impossible to cope with over the last few years.

But underneath all that my mother remained herself, tough and awkward and even towards the end reminded me that she was Ivy Todd, not a disease, not a sufferer of AZ but a person to be taken account of, her own unique person.

Thank you all, each and every one of you for your lovely comments and condolencies.
