Sad week :(

Wednesday night Neil's grandmother, Jaxson's great-grandmother, had a massive brain aneurysm.  She was hospitalized and we were able to go down to Paoli, which is about 2 hours away, on Thursday evening.  Everyone was still hopeful that she might eventually wake up but the damage was too bad and she was too old and frail to take further steps medically.  Thelma Foddrill passed away in her sleep around 4:30 a.m. Friday December 10, 2010.  She was 84 years old and the mother of 8 children.  Thelma was a wonderful lady, full of life and energy.  There was never a time when you saw her that she didn't talk to you and compliment you, she was just so sweet.  I am so very saddened by this family loss and I feel so sorry for Neil, his dad, and his aunts and uncles,  they loved her so much.  And so did everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her. I for one, am honored to have known her and been able to spend time with her, I just wish Jaxson could have known her better. :(  She loved Jaxon, she always lit up whenever she saw him! We will miss you so much Thelma, you will always be in our hearts!
