Rosemarie,
I hope that you can feel my prayers and the prayers of your many friends that care for you so much. I pray for your comfort, your peace and your continued belief in all that is good.

Please remember the wonderful memories you have with your Mother. Allow them to comfort you when you are sad. Allow your friends to offer you support if you need it.

God sends us many tests. You will make it though this test just fine. Please know you have many people that care about you very much.

Sincere Condolences,

Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She'd hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart

Mom, I love and miss you very much and will have a hard time, but I know you are with dad and your family and at peace. You will forever be in my heart. Your loving daughter, Barbara
