This blog-post is merely to let all of my followers/readers know that I will be out-of-pocket and unavailable for an indefinite period of time. My Mom passed away (legally/medically) at 3:43am, November 3, 2025. But most likely she passed away (much?) sooner—only a nursing-home worker who “checked on her” in the wee-hours of Nov. 3, went into her nursing-home room infrequently make his/her rounds. She could have died 1-2 hours earlier and they would not have known due to her legal DNR or Do Not Resuscitate Order. So…
Mom passed away with no family there, no dearest friends there, and in precisely the place she did NOT want to pass away or with whom and without whom… because my sister (Carolyn L. Miller) and Texas Kerr County Adult Protective Services (APS) took Mom away October 31st, 2025, where she legally had the right to pass away: at home. Instead she was taken to a strange, foreign place (nursing-home) at the orders of APS and my sister, and then died with whom she did not want to die with: family (Sandy and I) and dearest friends like Jeanette Manchester and several others. But all of that was STOLEN away from Mom due to my sister and the Texas Kerr County APS. 😡
I’m having to stop here because my wife, Sandy, and I now have a shit-ton of legal crap to deal with for the next several weeks. Apologies everyone.
My Mom’s last words before she was taken away by Kerr County Texas APS and my sister against her explicit wishes!—on Oct. 31st, 2025 were:
“I want to pass away here at home with family and my dearest friends.”
That never happened. Mom’s legally explicit directions were ignored, disrespected, and wrongfully stolen from her. Period. 😡🤬
I’ll come back as soon as when the trauma, stress, anger, depression, grieving, all the logistics and expenses—to get Mom up to Dallas, Texas to be laid to rest next to my Dad at Laurel Land Memorial Park—are all done.
Till then…

So deeply, deeply sorry, Dwain. Your mom’s passing would have been wrenching enough without the forced removal.
I hope your good and loving memories will soon diminish the anger and sadness these circumstances caused you. Your mom’s passing is now beyond pain and fear; she is at peace.
Take good care of yourself and Sandy.

So sorry that you have had to go through such horrible things from your own family member. I am so glad you have Sandy to be there for you emotionally and with all the other things you will have to take care of. My thoughts are with you both!

Thank you kindly Brian. ❤️
My new wife, Sandy, is an immeasurable help being not just a 25+ years retired licensed practicing therapist/counselor in Family & Marriage, but she is also my bestest friend since August 1981. We’ve remained in touch over all these years and some 800+ miles apart and every time we talked to catch-up it was as if we immediately picked up where we left off… all the way back to 1981. She’s been a steady rock for me.
Talk soon Brian and take care my friend.
