Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of Mom’s passing. Remember she will always be with you for there are holes in the floor of heaven, when you feel the sun warming your face it is her kisses and the snow and rain are her tears, together letting you know she is always with you.
Caring for her was such a joy, she taught me so much which I will always cherish. I am here for you always. R.I.P. Eileen
I was very sad to hear about your mom. She was a warm presence in your home and had a quick sense of humor and animal lover like you. My prayers are with you now and always. Fondly, Nancy
