In Memory Of
Many of you who are here reading this already know the sad news. For those of you who are here looking for new baseball or Canes content, I don't have any today. My mother passed away on Friday, her 56th birthday, of a heart attack. She was in good health and we were all shocked. Actually, we're all still in shock.

Eventually I'll have more to say but I know that at this point I won't be able to write anything that does her any justice so I won't even try.
For the time being, I'll just leave this: I know that some folks will be stopping by here to find out about the funeral and memorial. I don't have all of those details yet. But if you were thinking of sending flowers or anything like that, please consider making a donation instead in Mom's name to one of her favorite chairities:

Mike my condolences and prayers go out to you and your family. This has been a tough week, as my good friend and classmate (who's name is also Mike) lost his father to a heart attack as well, also unexpected given that he was in perfect health. This is shocking to me, and I am sure very painful to you and your family. I wish you all the best as you try to deal with this tragic and sudden loss.

I wish I'd written sooner, but for me, when my dad passed away suddenly at age 55, it was around a week or two after that it really hit me, that all the everyday things that we did were now empty without him there. I can't begin to know what you're going through, but I'm sending whatever good wishes I can your way, and I'm really sorry for what has happened.
