Thanks for sharing the website.  I am your mother's age and I know how close I am to my children. Your heart must be breaking.  I keep reminding my children that this is all harder on them than on me.  They think they would be lost without me, but I know they are strong and will carry on.  I know your Mother raised wonderful daughters and her legacy will continue  through all of you. I pray you will always feel her presence and be filled with her love :cuddle;

The poem made me cry but at the same time filled me with a sense of hope and peace .  I pray that you too will feel that hope and peace.  You are a special family. Sending love to all of you  :grouphug;. Rose

We were and still are all very close.  My mom did an amazing job and I am forever thankful that she was in my life period.  I miss her more than I could ever state and still feel this pain in my heart.  I miss her so much.

Thanks for sharing the memorial website with us.  I was able to get to know your Mom a bit better. I was particularly feeling this because she is the same age group as I am.  May you continue to hold strong because of the wonderful memories that you have of her.  :cuddle;

I looked at the tribute you put together for your mom, and then I found your intro without meaning to.  Both of our mom's had a lot in common.  Mine passed seven years ago.  I know how heartbreaking this is and I wish I could wave a magic wand to help you through the grieving process.  But I can't.  Instead, I'm going to just place you in my heart like so many others are doing here.   :grouphug;

I'm so sorry for your loss. 

You will never get over the loss, you will just learn to live without her.  My Mom has been gone for 12 years and I still miss her everyday.

WBMW, that is a beautiful memorial page and I love the poem Her Legacy.

I copied this from her memorial page. I hope you don't mind.


Her legacy 
  
 When tomorrow starts without me   
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It almost seemed impossible
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?"

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

I'm so sorry for you loss.
I lost my Mom 26 years ago and I still miss her.
That poem is absolutely beautiful and so touching.
May God grant you strength and comfort and peace.

I don't know how I missed this, but I did.  There are no words of comfort when we lose a loved one.  I know,
I have been there..Just know your sorrow and your loss are in my heart, too.  My sympathy to all of your family.

In God's Love,
Mimi
