Free At Last

Here's some text from an e-mail Jason had written to an old family friend:

My mom passed away this morning at 5:45. She had been diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in February and we enjoyed 5 wonderful months with her. She went very peacefully and, we think, in little if any pain. She was surrounded by her children which is exactly what she wanted. She was ready to go in every way.

We will be holding funeral services for her. The tentative date is Thursday July, 31 at 9AM in Corvallis, OR. One of Mom's missions in life was the health and welfare of my brother Tyler. She asked that people make memorial donations to an organization called Camp Attitude in her honor. This is a very special camp for people with disabilities and it has been immensely valuable for Tyler. Their contact information may be found on this web site: http://www.campattitude.com.

Although we are all saddened by our loss we can help but celebrate her life and feel great relief that she is at peace. My family is doing very well.

For those of you that know the Young's, you know how strong each of them are individually. Collectively they are a powerhouse. Although they morn the loss of their wife, mother, grandmother and friend, they know exactly where Bev is and that she is so happy. As the title states, she is free at last.

May we all live our lives, as Bev did, in a way that will allow us to return to live with our Father in Heaven and all our family who are awaiting our return!
