Matthew, what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful Mother. People that know how to focus on what truly matters help to make the world such a lovely place to be. It looks like she was one of those rare individuals.

(((((((((( Matthew ))))))))))

take all the time you need Matthew. We will be thinking of you and praying for you. She is not gone, she will live on forever in your heart.

When my husband died 15 years ago a friend said, you feel you lost half of your heart, but he gave you half of his. I think a mother's heart is even bigger inside her childrens hearts xxx

Thank you for sharing. I am sorry. No age is old enough to loose a parent or sib.

Your Mom seems to have been a terrific person. She was a clever survivor. I’m am so sad for you

Be well

Matthew,

Sad news for you and family. I can only extend my condolences.

Nearly all members of that generation for both my family and my wife's family are gone, some very recently, and now we are losing friends our age in great numbers. As you age, this of course is (trite to say) the inevitable process. That knowledge does not make it easier to deal with. Time does.

Having said that, I still miss my dad, after 5 decades and my Mom, after a more than a decade.

Mike
