Frank,
It is never easy to loose a parent, even when the parent has been gravely ill. Often there is so much more left to say. I will be praying for you and your family in this difficult time. May you be at peace, just as your mother is now at peace, in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father, where there is no pain or sighing, but life everlasting.
Love, Anne

I will miss you, my dear friend. Our trips to Florida, our "detour" to Memphis ( which ended up being a 10 hour drive), Saturday night suppers at my house, and after school trips to Mamacita's will always be a dear part of my memory. Rest in peace, Lynda. You deserve it.
Love,
Mary
