I am sorry for your loss.....  Peace be with your mom, and with you,your dad, and the rest of your family.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our choir is praying for all who have died and who have suffered loss, and for those still struggling.

I have just been catching up to read all this. It seems like the health of parents is Topic A amongst so many of my contemporaries here. My own mother fell recently and broke her arm, which has handicapped her considerably and precipitated a more general decline. Nick, Jimmy and Conny, please accept my condolences at your respective losses. Glenn, I'm so sorry about your mom. Jari, I can empathize with you as well, as an old family friend has just had a major, five-hour surgery for a recurred cancer. There is nothing to repair such loss, just the lifetime of memories in our heads and hearts, and such comfort and strength as we can attempt to provide each other. Please know you are wll very much in my loving thoughts and prayers.

I just came in and read that your mom has reached her peace, and that she suffers no more. She was a fighter and brave woman, you are just like her.

I thought I would not be able to read my thoughts to Rick at has wake, but he gave me strength and helped me do it, for me, my sons and his friends.

A poem sounds just right, and even if you can't read it, she will, and knows how much you love her.

My thoughts are with you and your dad and family.

I have been praying all day for your mom and for you, that all decisions may be made easier, and for ease and peace for her and you. She is a wonderful woman. I am so lucky to have met her.

Love to you both, my friend.

Most people were surprised when I spoke at Scott's Memorial, but I knew it was something I had to do. I made arrangements with the Minister for her to read my words if I could not, and had a signal for her in case it was necessary. It was not.

Now, years later, I'm glad I did say my words. I knew that he heard them.

hugs, and strength

Dan

I remember this picture Conny.
Thanks so much for sharing her with us once again.  :-*
She will always be looking over you, but you know that.

Love to you, lady.
