Nadine and Cathy, I am so very sorry to hear you have lost your mom. I hope she didn't suffer. I have very fond memories of her. I used to whine to her about all of my woes when I was in high school.

Prayers to you both and to your families to get through this loss with ease.

Too bad there are no telephones in heaven so you could call her and say, "I love you" one more time and hear her voice again.

Love,
Mel

When someone you love dies...You never quite get over it. You just slowly learn how to go on without them. But always keeping them tucked safely in your heart.
