Dear, dear Jill,
I'm so sorry for your continued grief. It comes because you had such a loving, wonderful relationship with your mom and dad, something to be cherished. You have so many good memories, and I know you sorely miss them. You are in my prayers today.

Much love,
Emily

I am so sorry this is such a bad time for you -- you are in my prayers also, and remember, when things get really bad, they start to get better.

love,

Martha

My thoughts, my heart, my love, and my prayers go out to you IBake. Take the time you need to remember, to heal, to embrace all that was, is, and will be. Your Mom was an incredible special person. I know this because you are. Know she is looking down on you, embracing you with her love, and you will come through this time with a better understanding. It will always be difficult but in time you will find a way to move forward with her memory surrounding you. Martha is right.... when it seems to be unbearable it will get better.

Warm hugs to you.....

Love, deb

IBake. You have to be strong for all of us!
My heart aches for you because your heart is aching.
I am a newbie and hardly post, however , a day does not go by that I do not read all of your posts. They keep me going each and every day. I do not know what I would do if you Angels left me.
Cry, cry,, and as you do they will eventually become tears of joy one day.
Joy for your beloved Mother, joy to have had her in your life for so many wonderful years. My dear Mom is slowly fading away from me each day.
My sweet Dad passed away 28 years ago at the age of 59. The first year was the worst. I could not even get out of bed that day. I thought my life was over. Guess what? Another year came and went, then another, then another and soon it was 28 years later. The pain will always be there each year and each day but it does get easier as time passes.

You are such an inspiration to me and I NEED you to help me get thru these tough days that I have. Remember, I have 3 brothers who do NOT help at all. It is ALL on me. You gals are the best!

I pray that you will get through this tough time.
Love,
Oceanside Nancy
