Mary Sue Riddle, TOW's Mom

**No Belay** · 01-21-2009, 23:58

The Only Wanderer's Mom, Mary Sue Riddle, completed her Thru hike of life today. For all of you that know Larry, you know how much he's appreciated and has given to the hiker community in the Damascus area. He's had a rough go of it lately and this personal loss of Mary just adds to it. Please keep him and his Dad, Arthur in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for sharing the information, NB. You are correct, TOW is a great guy and very, very supportive in Damascus in any way he can be. I'm so sorry his mom has passed on over the mountain to trails beyond.

We'll be thinking of him and keeping him in our prayers and wish him well.

Very sad to hear, hope Larry feels the love here.

Last night at church I had told my pastor I was at peace with her passing. Last year when I went home and back in 2005 I did my best to make amends with my family, had I have not did that I am sure this would be bothering me much more.

Right now I am working on getting a vehicle to drive out there for the funeral. Jeff Patrick from MRO is going to get one of his vehicles registered for me hopefully today so that I can use that.

Thank you No Belay for posting this, I did not expect it but I welcome it. As soon as her obit gets posted I will post it here.

And the rest of you are awesome!

I am sorry as well. My Mom was diagnosed with brain cancer while I was hiking in 05. It changed everything including me. The world is not as rich without her but she lives on in my sisters' sweet engaging smile and my brothers ( all 5 of them ! ) crinkled eyed laugh. I see her in the mirror too. Again, sorry for your loss.

**bigcranky** · 01-22-2009, 09:53

You and your mom are in my thoughts, TOW.

Larry, if you get this, give a shout when you get close to Nashville this evening. You are welcome to spend the night. Or if you want to keep going, we'll feed you dinner and take care of you during your stop-over. I spoke with No Belay just now. I also sent PM's to the local WBers.

My home phone number is 615-385-9644.

Lets go trackin'!!
Peace Out

TOW, we haven't met but I share in your grief. Moms are special. My mom turns 85 on 1/25. Even though she has dimentia and short term memory loss she could always remember that I was hiking last year. When I would call her, she always ask the same question, "When are going to be done with that hike, and why are you doing that"?

Take Care.

**mudcap** · 01-22-2009, 20:15

My condolences TOW. My thoughts are with you .

**Blissful** · 01-22-2009, 20:23

I'm so sorry.
