Thank you all for your support at this very sad and stressful time. It helps to feel connected to so many wonderful people who can appreciate what it means to offer a word or thought to someone who is hurting. Knowing you are there is a great comfort to me.

Hopeful I'm sorry I'm coming in late here but don't get to visit as often as I used to. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your Mom, she sounds a lot like mine who at 82 is still going strong and works weekends!
I can only imagine your loss and hope you find great comfort in the years and happy memories you shared with her.

I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. Sounds like she did a lot of living and almost made that century mark. She sounds like a remarkable woman who was blessed with a sharp mind and good health and a zest for living. . I know you will miss her very much and I will pray for you. May you live just as long as your mom and may she live through you for as long as you live...sherryg683
