Shelley, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. We shared many thoughts about dealing with and watching our mothers in their passage through this last stage of their lives. My mother is still hanging in there, but continues to lose ground. You remain my model of passing through this rough time. I am thinking of your family and you in your loss. You all are in my prayers. Sue Hagood

Mitch Albom said it beautifully - "When you look into your mother's eyes, you know that it is the purest love that you can find on this earth". She loves you through it all. Cherish your wonderful memories, they will be a blessing in the days ahead.
