Dear Friends,
I wanted to take a moment to let you all know that my Mom, Mary Ann DeMatteo, passed peacefully into Eternity this past Saturday, 11.16.19 @ 11:15am at the age of 82.
She was here at home, and my Father and I had the privilege of being right by her side at the moment of her departure.
She had been in slowly declining health for quite some time, and as many of you know, she and my Dad had moved in with me in Nov. of 2017 so I could help him care for her.
As her health continued to deteriorate, her needs had become more extensive and specialized.
Consequently, we recently began using an in-home Hospice service to help us care for her.
Though certainly a season of sorrow, my Father and I also share a profound sense of gratitude for the amazing way our Great God answered our prayers and guided and comforted us throughout the process, and trust that she is now with Him in a far greater reality.
We will keep you updated on the proceedings for her which will be forthcoming, but not immediate.
In the meantime, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
–Mark D 🙂
