I don't know you Virginia but I read the special message you sent to your Mother in the Gazette. My heart broke for you. I am sure you touched the hearts of anyone who read what you wrote and they cried like I did. My parents are both gone...I know the pain. I told my father every single day that I loved him and when he was gone....it wasn't enough. I read the note that "Donna" wrote....I hope her words that you were a great daughter help you in your time of loss. Anyone who read what you wrote and is blessed to still have their Mom....you gave them so much to think about. Someone once said that no matter how old your parents are...you never want to loose them. "Donna" said that your Mom knew you were a great daughter.....hope her words are comforting. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom, Virgie. You're Mom was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. We all have regrets about all we did not say or do for our loved ones. You were and are a great daughter, and your Mom, above all, knew it. My condolences to you and your loved ones. Always, Donna
