My Dearest Nellie, and all of the Rosales Family,
My heart aches for you. I am so, so sorry for your loss. But know the legacy your mother left behind is one of amazing humans and never-ending love, kindness and gentleness. May your mother rest in peace. I have no doubt she is celebrating her life with those she loved who had already left this world. She is shining down upon you. Every time the clock strikes 11:11, and every time there is a shooting star you catch, know it is your mother. Sending her love, and holding you in her arms.I love you my sweet Nellie. May you find comfort in knowing how much she loved you, and how much you loved her. There could be nothing greater.
All of my love,
Jenn

Margaret and John,
Even though I did not know your mother; she was a beautiful woman and I know a wonderful mother. You can see that in her face. I found this soon after my brother passed away a year ago. I want to share it with you and your family,
"I think the hardest part of losing someone, isn't having to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. Always trying to fill the void, the emptiness that's left inside your heart when they go."
But remember the good times and memories that are always with you and the love she had for everyone. I will be thinking of you and your family and pray for all of you to conquer this death of your loved one.
