Dear Jen,

I'm so sorry. I wish with all my heart you could have been spared the pain of this loss.

Thank you for keeping our community informed and sharing this time with us. Thank you, also, for trusting us with your feelings and reaching out. I hope we were able to help you.

My mom died a long time ago. I still feel her presence sometimes, though. I know she's helping me as much as she can. I see her in my children.

Sheila's strength, compassion, wisdom, and kindness will live on. She was such a good friend to so many of us.

I like the random act of kindness idea. I agree that the best way to honor Sheila's memory is to make a practice of being kinder than necessary. Everyone is, indeed, fighting some kind of battle.

I hope you will remember that we love you too and will help you any way that we can.

Stay in the light,
Amy
