I lost my mother when she was 54 and I was 20. One thing I know is that you never get over the loss of a parent. This was a beautiful tribute to your mother.
Beautiful!!!
Very loving tribute.
I agree ❤️❤️❤️I lost my mom at 52 and I was 28… in now 42 and I miss her still so much… this is a beautiful tribute 🥰
I am sorry you lost your beautiful mother. She was a treasure. She raised a talented, handsome son.
Jeff, what a touching tribute to your mother. My mom used to say, "Never forget Edna, that we all have "chinks in our armor". Your mom loved you. You were a good son.
Words cannot describe this video. Jeff, what a loving tribute to your mom. It is clearly apparent how she impacted your life and made you the man you are today. Thank you for sharing this intimate tribute to her.💙😇
Say Jeff did u ever run into George Lucas who was from Modesto?
What a beautiful tribute to your mom. When you were at the window and you spoke to her she heard you, her breaths became quicker, she knew you were there. She loved you. Our moms and their love for their children cannot be quantified or explained with words. Their presence is comforting because their love is UNCONDITIONAL even when we make them mad or disappoint them. Moms are our refuge from a harsh world and when they cross over that void is never filled. Happy Mother’s Day to your mom in heaven.
I'm so sorry Jeff about your Mother's passing. Thankyou so much for sharing her story for Mother's day, when I first watch History Hunter months ago, I was watching the Graceland trip, I'm so glad that you had a chance to take her to see Elvis home. My favorite part was when you ask her why she like Elvis? Her reply was "He Loves The Lord." That part really made me a fan of History Hunter.
I know your Mom is in Heaven with Jesus, with no more pain and suffering.🙂
AGAIN THANK YOU MOM FOR GIVING US A GREAT HISTORIAN WILLING TO TEACH!!! R.I.P to a wonderful woman!!!🙏🙏🙏
Jeff, you have my sincere sympathy and condolence. I know how heart rendering and painful losing a mother can be.
I remember watching the episode of your visit to Graceland. Your mother looked like a young child visiting Disneyland or any other fun place for the first time. She looked like she was, literally beaming with joy.
My own mother passed away on 31 March 1993. She suffered from heart disease and complications from Diabetes. I had made a promise to mom that I would stay by her side when other siblings weren't there because, she was afraid to be left alone. I was sitting by her bedside, holding her hand when three nurses came into her room and said that I'd have to leave. I told them no, I had made a promise to not leave. The senior nurse threatened to call security it I didn't leave. After 20 minutes or so, I walked back into her room, the three nurses were side by side against the wall looking confused and scared. I immediately looked at the machine that records heart beats and oxygen and, there was just a long straight line. I knew that my mother was gone. I screamed at those nurses, called them, I don't remember what all i said but slowly, they left the room. My older sister came into the room after my tirade and we both broke down.
Yes Jeff, I know that pain you felt.
Thank you for sharing these precious memories of your mother.

Lost my Mother in 2017 to Cancer, 1945-2017 her last words to me where "Oh it's you" she passed 2 days later, ❤ to our moms
What a beautiful tribute on this Mother’s Day to your loving mother. God bless you and your family, and God bless your mom. She is now in heaven, with a renewed mind and renewed body. She might just be singing with Elvis up there today. God bless!
Love the scripture at the end, Jeff. Indeed, that is the only faith we have even in death.
❤️ well, I never thought I'd cry watching a video of "History Hunters" but here I am crying!
Piper at the gates of dawn; That's ok, there's nothing wrong in crying, even, for a man. I'm still wiping my own tears.
2020 was terrible year. Sorry for your loss. I lost my mother on June 6th 2020. She was only 62. I talked to her that day for over an hour and told her bye and I love her. Something I never do. And here on mothers day its difficult.
It’s hard I feel your pain. So sorry 🙏🏼 God Bless You
You clearly! LOVE your Mom and it was reciprocated by your Mom I envy you Geoff for the time you had with her, I only wish I could have had the sense to go see my Mother when she was here but I was always too busy with my own family. To my eternal regret I wasn’t there when she passed away. 😔😢
My grandfather past away in October 2020. He settled in Livingston and raised a family there since getting out of the Air Force in his 20's. I'm sure they crossed paths a few times without even knowing it. My grandmother still lives in the house my grandfather built by Livingston High. I'm sorry for your loss Jeff.
My Condolences for ur loss and thank you for his service 🙏
Jeff, I just lost my dad a month ago (84). What a beautiful tribute and closer to your mom's life, I don't have it in me to do what you've done without falling completely apart. Everybody has to remember that the only thing separating them from their loved ones is the number on their ticket, we're all in the same line waiting on that train. Stay strong and God Bless.
Rest In Peace Melva! Thank you for having such an amazing son! 💐♥️
That was very touching. I had to call my mom after watching this. You do great videos.. you should be working with Ken Burns!
Your a great son your love is truly visible your mom was a great woman
This is one of the best tributes I've seen to a parent. The time and effort and will and strong hearted person that you are to do this, to share This with people you don't know, It takes a special person. My parents are up in their 80s, doing OK so far. I applaud you for doing this, may your mom rest in peace.
This was lovely. I appreciate that you did not just focus on how wonderful she was but also in the ways that she, like us all, was flawed and so very human: seeking love and connection, yearning for life experiences. Bravo to you for caring so much for her in all ways and being there until the end. We should all be so fortunate to have a witness such as you.
Hi. You and I were in the same place in January 1977. I also was at the Carter Inauguration. I went to the party at Union Station. Arlo Guthrie and Hoyt Axton were performing in one area but I enjoyed the Duke Ellington band perform. I absolutely love Big Band music. According to Jewish tradition once a soul is created it never ceases to exist. After death the soul is no longer confined to one place. A soul can be many places at the same time. Just sit back and enjoy your mother's visits. May you be blessed. You are a wonderful son!
What a beautiful tribute to your Mom. I lost my Mom on August 22, 2020. Same as you, this is my first Mother’s Day without her. My eyes filled with tears watching this wonderful tribute. I’m sure she’s looking down at you from heaven, blessing you with love. ❤️
Simply beautiful tribute , tears flowing here too missing mama spent the last 6 with her told her she would never be alone condolences deeply , Godspeed the healing of loss of your Matriarch 💪✌️😔🙏💙
The love that was there will never diminish. Your warm memories will live on in your life. Your a good son,...and she knew it.
She definitely loved me and my brothers! She told me we were her greatest accomplishment!
Your mom was a wonderful lady!!!! So enjoyed the episode that you both did at Graceland❤️ God Bless.
My thoughts this morning are with you, your mom and my mom who I miss oh so much. Thank you for remembering her today. Be well Jeff.
Great story of your mother Jeff she was lucky to have you as a son.
Tremendous tribute to your Mom on Mother's Day, Jeff. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Very special episode. Your mom was a great lady. A great American story 🥲. My mom had a hard life but she never gave up. My mom lived to the age of 90 . I’m thankful that she was very close to my kids. I was alone when I received a cold phone call telling me that she was gone. She was a great lady. Thank You for sharing your Moms story. ...Happy Mother’s Day to Sarah. ♥️
The Spirit now can never be Damaged again - in All Times & Spaces Permanent & Forever - Gratitude & Love - and so it is - Blessings.
With tears in my eyes I write this. So sad, I lost my mom 12.31.2019 and my dad 6.26.2020 I feel so sad for our loss . Thanks for this great video so sorry it had to be that way for you Jeff.
So sorry to here about your loss, i know how heartbreaking that is.
I lose my mother
Yeah me too 😪😪
Wow just an amazing Story of your beloved mother! My deepest condolences to your mother’s passing. What a amazing way to remember your mother on this Mother’s Day. She was a beautiful lady. The way you told her story brought tears to my eyes. I’m sure she’s very proud of her son! Thank you for this 🙏🏻🤗
I appreciate your words Bianca. I cried a lot making this video.
Your the type of son every Mom wishes they had! You are such a good being!
I truly appreciate your tender words! I'm sure you are an awesome person as well!
@@jbenziggy I have two awesome son's 50 and 53. You guys are actually few and far between. Thank you for being YOU!
Thank you God for my tears, for my memories.
Thanks, Jeff, beautiful tribute
I'm so sorry for mom's passing. I've lost my mother in October 11 seven years ago from Dementia, Diabetes, and old age. She was 86 years old. May Almighty God grant you peace for your loss and rest assured that their lives are with Him in his Kingdom. Amen and Amen. 🙏
Thanks very much. Losing moms is hard! I believe mom is with Jesus as she believed in Him!
What an absolutely wonderful video this is. Your Mother was an amazingly complex woman. Dementia, a particularly cruel and insidious disease... Thank you for sharing this with us, Jeff. You were/are a thoughtful, caring son... 🌈 I'm so happy you have those loving words she left for you.💔🙏💖 That trip to Graceland must have made your Mom so happy.💕
Your Mother, had a Full Life, This Is A Wonderful Tribute to Her, God Bless Her, You And All Your Family, Including Sara..
Thank-you for the brutally honest insight into a great women, mum and person. Looks like you did her proud with repaying each other with the memories. Sorry you had to go through the pain and heartbreak on top of the good times. Thankfull my mum passed quickly from cancer and having a sister, as I hope I coUld have put back just 10% of what you did for your mum. may they all RIP. P.s my mum was a month older similar life but in the UK as opposed to USA. Thanks and she knew you was with her on her birthday I could feel it from here bless
Touching story and sorry for your loss. My mother passed in 2008 and now you’ve made me cry at work. Lol. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother out there.
Hi. Beautiful tribute to your mom. She was quite the character . Sorry for your loss. Take care and keep on vlogging. Deborah Winnipeg Canada
Yes she was a character! Thank you very much!
This video hit me really hard. My name is Jeff also, what a coincidence ! I’m 60 years old and am going through the same thing with my own Mother. Started with a little dementia back in 2008 and progressed slowly over the years with the occasional weird things like a small car accidents that were unexplainable. We had to finally take the keys away in 2018 because she ran into a pole at the store and it caused a fuel line to break loose and burned the car up right there. That was very hard on her to have her freedom to get around taken away. In 2020 I was visiting her at home and she asked me who I was and I had to show her pictures and tell her I’m your son Jeff. Very hard moment to swallow there. I’ve been a Truck Driver for 25 years and can’t quite until 2027 so I feel bad so often knowing my time with her is coming to an end and I can’t see her more. We have a nurse that comes by every day and stays with her. This video parallels my life and my families life in so many ways. My father was Coast Guard and I served in the Air Force. He past away in 1996 of Colon Cancer at age 56 very young. Mom never remarried and lives alone . Thanks for posting this video I cried off and on all the way through because of the similarities. Love your videos. I live in Texas but have lots of family in California and I drive out there often. Oh my mother was born in Duncan Oklahoma.
I’m sorry you lost your Mom. I lost mine too and I know how it feels. You look a lot like her. My daughter married a sailor as my wife did (me) and ended up getting stationed in Lemoore as I did 30 years later. She ended up going to Atsugi also and left just one week before the big earthquake. I fell in love with the valley during my tour there and two of my grandkids were born at the hospital on the base there. The valley is full of hardworking conservative people. A great place to raise a family. I moved back to Michigan when I got out but couldn’t stay in Michigan and moved out 11 years after my discharge. I love your channel.
Hi Jeff, what a beautiful tribute to your mom on Mother's Day. It brought tears to my eyes! ! I loved all the old photos and how you told her life story in relationship to the history of her time. Getting old can be tough at the end, but your mom sure seemed to have a full and memorable life. Thanks for sharing this personal moment with us.
Steve, you are the kindest soul. Thank you. I feel as though I know you personally. You're a sweet man and you inspire me to be positive through your positivity. It's easy to see why your channel is growing. The loss of your mom touched me as well and I think of your mom too after watching your videos on her. God bless you. Hopefully we can do a show together sometime soon.
Great tribute Jeff,
She will always be with you Jeff in your Heart. Love.
Sorry for your loss, Jeff. That was a real triple blow with the dementia, the Covid situation, and your Mom's passing. A great tribute to your Mom.
Life can really be tough at times. Thanks for sharing.
So sorry for your loss, she is beautiful and she raised a very talented man. Sending lots of love your way
Just listened to a Gospel song in which it declared, "memories, something that can not be taken by death", something I firmly believe is a blessing from our Lord. God bless you on this sad day, but there are always those fun and happy memories.
What a wonderful tribute. Your mother was a beautiful soul. I know she is greatly missed by you. You were a good son! Blessings from eastern Tennessee. 🙂🙋
Bless your heart, Janet! I really appreciate your heartfelt words of sympathy! I still grieve her final days spent in solitude.
Sorry to hear of your loss. and what beautiful tribute to your Mum. she will be up there looking down on you all and smiling.R I P
Jeff, your mom seemed like she was a special lady to have around and had a gifted heart. I could hear you start to cry at the end, so I started crying. Mom’s are special role models in our lives. My great grandma is gone now(2012) and she had declining health as well from a fall. She also had those old Westerns turned up loud and had to find the remote to turn the TV down that reminded of her, so I started tearing up. 💕
You are a good son/man. My journey into care-giving started with my dearest friend Kasey Rogers (best known for her stint on Bewitched). After she passed from throat cancer (and all the stuff we do to try and rid herself of it) I ended up "inheriting" some of her famous friends, most notably RoseMarie... it wasca fascinating, yet odd, surreal journey... today I care for my own mother with dementia...
... I will admit to [secretly] looking forward to getting my life back after 16 years of this...
What a beautiful tribute to your mother, Jeff. My momma passed on Halloween 2002...yours reminds me of the same eternal child spirit, not in an immature way but a wonderful imagination and sense of adventure. She's not gone, get quiet and listen because you will hear her...I have been guided by mine for many years. The mystery of life is that we're never really gone, just transformed into different energy.
Let the tears flow and keep her memories alive; this is a beautiful example. 🙏❤
Sunday morning, cup of Joe & History Hunters 😁
Happy Mama Day!
Oh Jeff....what an extraordinary and loving tribute for your Mom. I am going through the same situation with my parents, so this video really hit home. You were a wonderful and caring son. Thanks so much.
Beautiful . I feel all your pain ! And I feel your love for her. I am 65 and my mom has been gone for many years. Death is part of life. One thing is that we get to keep the love in our hearts forever. God Bless my friend
A wonderful tribute. Thanks for sharing. As an administrator of skilled nursing facilities, I certainly understand your frustration of not being able to visit. If we had our ways we would allow it. Unfortunately, it was A state mandate.
Thank you for sharing your mother's story. So sorry for your loss ❤❤❤❤❤
Your authentic, kind, caring, and honest video is a tremendous tribute to the wonderful man and son you are. The man you are is the tribute to who she was. Finding people who are as open and real as you are is a very rare thing. You add to the world, thank you.
It is truly painful to watch parents and grandparents go downhill and then pass on. I watched this presentation Jeff on your mom but it did bring tears to my eyes. It brought things back to me that I experienced with my family. I am very sorry for the loss of your mom; now I'm crying. I pray all the time that Jesus comes back soon and end death once and for all.
So sorry. I'm crying while watching this. I miss my mom. I'm having a special dinner that I'm cooking in memory of my mom I'm cooking a ham which that was one of her favourite meals.
Sorry for your loss, Jeff. A very touching tribute. I think a lot of times we idealize somebody after they've passed but you showed an honest and loving snapshot of your Mom's life, warts and all. It's not easy being a son or daughter sometimes. You've done very well.
Great tribute to your mother and what an adventure her life was. This reminds us how important mothers and family are
You were brought up by a great mom. You lived the American dream. U grew up a good man. RIP mom..
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer in April of 2020. Almost 3 years and I still miss him terribly. But he loved the Lord and I know he is not suffering and is at peace. God bless you !
Thank you Jeff for sharing your Mom's journey in such a beautiful and touching tribute. Life is certainly tough at times but she had you.....her loving Son to brighten her days. Sending your Mom a heavenly Happy Mother's Day !! ❤❤
So sorry for your loss. I was able to hold my mother's hand as she passed in a nursing home that she had spent her last few months in. It wasn't easy but I am sure she felt comfort holding on to my hand. My wife passed away after our 55 year marriage a couple years ago. Keep making videos as I really enjoy them.
Tom, me too. Lost both my mom and wife to cancer after many months of hospice care.
Really related to the life you had with your Mother. The pictures of you, your Mom , the houses and the rears of the 1958 and 1959 Chevrolets In that one photo. Your Mom was beautiful and very intelligent too. My mother died in 1979 at only 59 years old. I will always feel like I never did enough for her while she was healthy or sick. I guess many of us feel that way. Time goes way too fast and we are often too unaware of what is best for us. We pass up the good things or just leave them alone. I know things now that I never knew years ago. I just want to assure to you one thing I know about you and Sarah. She is one of a kind and certainly a rare woman. A life partner for you for sure. I sure wish I could have known this in 1980 when I had the opportunity. The best to you, Jeff and Sarah.
I lost my mom April 16th, 2021. We just buried her yesterday. Her last two weeks were tough, but she is at peace and no longer in pain. Mother's day is difficult but we know she is with my dad and her parents and free. Your mom seemed a lot like my mom. A special person and wonderful memories that will last forever.
Sorry for your loss! We shall see them again!
My heart goes out to you for sharing something so personal This is the most heartbreaking video you have ever posted and i cried watching it my mum 92 and we going through same thing Loads of tears shed with this video
I have no words...magnificently done
So sorry to hear about your Mum Jeff I only saw where you took her to see Elvis Presley home last week. I’ve lost both parents and a brother and sister before I was 42 and have fond memories of all of them. You were a great Son and will always have the memories 👍❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧 Thanks for this tribute
Dear Boy! Bless your Sweet heart dear Boy! How brave of you to give such a SWEET AND HONEST TRIBUTE TO YOUR MOTHER. I recognize her childhood, so like mine, I wanted to join the Marines!!! to get a nursing degree! My stepfather a WWII VET, knew I would go STRAIGHT TO VIETNAM so he & My mother put a quash on that dream. In time I have been grateful for THIER wisdom and refusal to support. It would have been physiological damaging and who knows Mabe even death. Your grandparents knew WAR and that may have been THIER insistence she not join the Navy?. I can only say my conclusion about my similar experience.
I have 3 grown son's and we have had issues ourselves. I am not dependant on them at all. But I praise you for loving her, looking to Her well being, and realizing it was surely best she go to assisted living situation. You documented Wonderful trips and adventures her entire life. Even the not. So swell happenings. Touching on her low self esteem, starting in her over burdened childhood was the key to the future. I can say for myself I had not much GUIDENCE as young girl. I did my best as an adult and I feel I'm not such a bad " OLD LADY" at present.
You are a terrific son and I'm sure a good brother to your siblings. I enjoy your History Narrations and your subjects are really unusual , places and information mostly new to me.
Keep going Dear! You are doing beautifully. I know she had to be very Proud of you even tho the thief " DEMENTIA" TOOK HER., LOOK at all the Special Memories you shared!!
Much Encouragement to you and your sidekick!, 💚❤ D
I’m a Thompson sorry about your mom lost both my parents to early never stop remembering them take care
Bless you Kind Sir !!! what a blessing you are to her .. she heard you .. an she is singing with Elvis !
I am sure she is loving her experience in heaven. I do hope she meets all her family and Elvis too.
This is so bittersweet. My heart breaks all over again at the loss of my mother. She died in 2003 while I was deployed and she was alone. I can't unfeel the pain.
“ as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be” now it’s my turn! Thanks amen 🙏🏻 good tribute to your living mom!
Wonderful Tribute to your Mom, makes me think of my Mom,who has been gone for many years now. And yes we all have been taken advantage of with the Rona BS. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
MOM's.....The giver of life!! God bless all Moms everywhere! "I miss you Mom"!
Amen! Thank you Ken!
Jeff, what a wonderful tribute to your mom, this day, Mother's Day 2021. Recently, we went through much the same with my wife's mother. Oh how I hate dementia and what it does to our loved ones. How wonderful however that you have all of this video footage and photographs of her along with a very detailed account of her life. You were a very loving son to her especially when she needed you most. You are correct in how our current pandemic situation has alienated our families in such an inhumane way. It is inexcusable. My heart cries out to those that are feeling abandoned and separated from their family and friends. Please know that your mother is restored in all ways and is in the loving arms of our Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven, where we will be united in that 'great gettin' up morning' in the air. Thank you so much for sharing your mom with us Jeff. Now, I have to go dry all my tears from my computer keyboard. .....Russell D.
“A cheerleader to my life” beautiful words. To our Mums who are 🌟 forever 💖
Thanks, Sharon. Mom never leaves the heart and I'm sure that I will see her again in happiness and no pain!
A beautiful tribute of your mother. It's the life that we live. Our memories and experiences of life. God bless her, you Jeff. Rest In Peace.
I’ve put this video off for several days because I knew I would watch it through tears. I see her happily listening to Elvis singing directly to her in heaven. She had a good son and you should be very proud of this video.
Hello from England
What a lovely tribute Your mom was a lovely looking woman. Having lots of photographs as well as all those memories of the better times rather than the not so good times.
Dementia is the worst disease out there and i would not wish this on anyone. My Mom was diagnosed with Late Onset Dementia and along with Cancer and Heart failure and had lots of psychotic episodes and when your mother does not know who you are and is very aggressive towards you that is the worst. My Mom used to fall a lot when she went into nursing care when she was 89 and would be covered in bruises. The last fall in 2017 she broke her Femur and ended up in hospital having op to fit plates and pins in her leg. Apart from the age difference all your Mom's symptoms my Mom had and she would just be in the bed sleeping all the time
I had not seen my mom for 2 days before she died. Got to the care home around 15 minutes after and talked to her as the last thing to go is hearing. My mom weighed about 5 stone
The brain naturally blocks lots of the horrible things that happen which is good and you just remember many years of being taken on holiday and to places like Disneyland
Losing a parent is never easy at any age. My heartfelt condolences.
I know you’ll see her again. The greatest gift ever given was the free gift of the resurrection, to one day see all those we’ve loved and cherished again. Beautiful tribute !
Wow......that was gut wrenching.
I lost my mother the day after Christmas in 1978.
I was 8 years old.
Jeff, your memories of your mom will never be forgotten. I am glad you brought your mom to Graceland. Thanks for sharing your moms history. You are a kind man!!
I appreciate that. Thanks very much!
Jeff, You are a beautiful story teller and the story of your Mom's life is no exception. Thank you for sharing, Its a story that many of us can relate to.
I really appreciate the kind words you have for me. I loved my mom but as you can see she was somewhat of a challenge. I so regret that her last months were spent in isolation because of Newsom’s lockdown and COVID related issues.
As your mother my chilhood was also cleany de house, taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, cooking.... not childhood too.. thanx for this tribute for her she will be very happy.
Thanx for her 👍🕯
What a beautiful tribute to your mom Jeff. I am lucky to still have my mom. She is 82. She survived a bout with B Cell Lymphoma and is still active and living on her own. When I watch your video's I get a history lesson that I enjoy.
Thank you for the touching comments about my mother. I guess you just never are prepared for the loss of your parents because you think they will die someday but you’re hoping that day never comes and when it does you’re shocked at the finality of it all. I still miss her and still think of her as living. I believe in my heart that she is living in heaven and would never want to come back to the stressed life that she had.
Excellent and very touching video Jeff! You did a terrific job sharing your mom’s story with us and I’m sure she would be very proud of you and the work you put into it! She seemed to be an awesome mom and loved you and your siblings a lot! Your very lucky to have a mom like that! Just remember all those good times and keep them close to heart and up in your mind when you want to remember her and put a smile on your face when you think of something funny you two did together or a special moment you had with her.
Unfortunately I know that pain of losing a mom too. I lost my mom in April 1991, a few days after my 16th birthday. She was 34 when she passed away due to an aneurysm. I miss her more than anything! And the relationship you had with your mom reminds me of the one I had with my mom.
I’ll keep you and your mom in my prayers too!
P.S. my mom was a big Elvis Presley fan as well and I suppose that’s why I still am to this day. I know your not a big fan of him, but that’s ok. Haha! Well take care now and I’ll be checking in again next week for another video. And again, excellent job on this video! I have to go wipe a couple tears outta my eyes now too!
Frank from Philadelphia, PA.
Yea, to the spirit of motherhood! Happy mother's day to all the endearing Moms who have passed on🌠🌹🙏🏼💚💛🧡💜💙
As a Hospice nurse, having filled my career with caring for the elderly and cancer patients, I know how hard saying good-by is. I worked at a long-term care and rehab facility across the street from where I live now, and can tell you that isolation from this terrible virus impacted so many lives. I can also state, from my own visits to patients inside, that the staff truly feels the segregation and the frustration of not being able to allow families inside. Glass windows and walkie-talkies are the best that could be had.---Hearing you say your Mom went into renal failure, in my experience with dying patients, is a painless, peaceful end to life. I agree that your Mom knew it was you that day.---XOXO
Dear Jeff, What a lovely tribute to you dear Mother! Though she is gone, your memories of her will live on!
Wow, so touching. What a beautiful, loving family. I lived in Merced Ca, volunteered in Livingston, spent time in Modesto, so know several places she lived. I hope we crossed paths, who knows. What a loving son, beautiful and moving video.
Very touching. I lost my mom christmas eve of 2019. A few days before she passed away i went to visit her. The hospital had moved her to another bed in the same room. When i came into the room i seen that her original bed was empty. I went to the other bed by the window and seen this frail lady lying in bed sleeping.I did not recognize my own mother lying there. I went to the nurses station to ask where they placed my mother,they told me she was in the bed by the window in the same room. I went back to the room to visit her and would try to comfort her. She was a special person in my life. I will miss her dearly. The generation of family my mother grew up with no longer exist. She was 85 years old. Take care.
A BEAUTIFUL STORY. My husband and I ran 3 adult care homes for 17 years. I know what a heart ache it is when a mom or dad loses
their memory. Some children can't handle that. One or our ladies told her son " who are you, are you going to kill me ?) She didn't
know who he was. He never came again. I remember your story once when your dad refused to stop at Graceland when you were
coming home from a vacation ( i think ) HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOM'S
Beautiful tribute. All too common as well. My own mother is 96 and completely bedridden at a hospice facility for the past two years because of strokes. Still, she can recognize us when we visit and tells us she's glad we are here.
Beautiful tribute to your mother Jeff. Outrageous the treatment our elders received this past year during the scamdemic. Bless you for taking care of her through thick and thin. Her face, when you came to see her the last day, at the sound of your voice, like an angel, so happy to hear you. My son lives in Lemoore. One of the town’s water tanks exploded today, losing millions of gallons of water. Tough times in the Central Valley. Take care.
Thank you Robin. I have a cousin who lives in Lemoore.
Thank You for sharing your story with us. I would have given anything to have a similar experience with my Mom. Unfortunately we lost her in her early 50's to Cancer. Similar my Mom came here via Arkansas to Oklahoma to the Bay Area in the early 1940's. I was born in 1958 when my Father was in the Navy and serving as a Radar Operator on the USS Wagner which was at sea at the time. We are both made of the fine stock true Americans and good Californians are from. I am a 63 year old Seventh generation Resident, and Sixth Generation Native of this Great State. Lets keep it Great for our future generations!🇺🇸🐻👍
