I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your mother. Your relationship with her reminded me so much of the closeness I had with my mother. It is a bumpy road you are about to travel but it will get smoother with time. Pat will always live in your heart.

Tina,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mother. I lost my Mother almost a year ago and it is so hard. There will be good days and bad days and tears will come from out of the blue, but so will laughter and smiles. Cherish the memories, they are yours forever and will ultimately comfort you. I still find myself reaching for the phone to call my Mom, that is the hardest part, but I know she is watching over us, just as your Mom is watching over you. Family is so important and life is so short, cherish your family and friends and make memories. Big Hugs.
