Gary,
I am very sorry to hear about your dear mother passing on, I certainly know how you are feeling I lost my Mum in 1998 around Christmas time and it was very hard to bear, however as time goes by you will accept it,just always remember the good times and memories you have with her and she will live on with you.
Peace and strength be with you at this most diffcult time.
Steve.

My Sympathy

Gary,

Very sorry to hear of your lost. My mother died in 2003
and I miss her every day. I can say that she was my true
parent (not so with my stepdad) and friend. I think it is
good to talk about death even if it is on a web site.

Sorry for your loss

My Father passed away last December at Age 84. I try to remember him before he got sick. For years I talked to him every morning on my way to work. I miss that very much. I still talk to my Mom every morning but we both acknowledge its not quite the same. My Dad was the most mechanically minded person I know (all y'all excluded of course) and I miss being able to pick up the phone and ask him how to do something house related. He was a wealth of knowledge.

I know what you are going through and it does get easier with time.

Oh Gary, I am so sorry!

After all is over, make sure you are taking care of yourself, too.

Gary, I am sorry to hear your news. Even though I don't know you, I can relate to what you are feeling. I remember when my Gram passed away 2 years ago, so many things changed forever. I can say that I have many, many great memories and hope you do as well. Joe

Again, peace be with you after your loss.

I still remember my grandmother who died in 1970 when I was 7 y.o.

Saw grandma's sister in 1973 when I went to visit Greece. I distinctly remember the feeling I got from seeing a face that was so close in appearance to granny's. I remember following her around as she were my granmother alive again.

I recognized her (mind you never having met her or seen a pic) my mother (her niece) did not.

As Mixfinder (Kelly) reminds us, LOVE is hugely powerful.
Is it possible to love someone more than your own mother? I think I may have loved Granny just as much.

Gary,

My deepest sympathies to you and yours. Remember, the Bible tells us though, that for her, the BEST is yet to come!
Prayers,

So so so sorry, Gary, to hear about the passing of your love

I've been away--no computer-- and I have an idea of how sad you must feel because we thought our Mom was going to die last summer after suffering a stroke.

The warmth of your Mother's life will comfort yours forever. How holy and privileged to die and rise on Good Friday. Peace, my friend, and Godspeed to your Mom. If you need another shoulder to lean on, it's there and ready.

Love,
Mike
