No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

March 17, 2010

I’m sending a gentle hug your way, to comfort you, and to let you know that you’re on my mind and in my heart today and always.

Bette was a part of my 20 years of knowing her. Her laugh, her love for the cubs or just talking with family and friends. She has touched so many lives. She has never left my heart and never will. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Don’t think of her as gone away-
Her journey has just begun
Life holds many facets
The Earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And she was loved so much.

Our deepest sympathy.
Sue, Cody, Jon and Hannah
