Oh Rachy - I could feel the gut punch as I read that. I am so so sorry. It is a shock to the system and a surreal experience. Please reach out if you need it - unfortunately I (and so many of us) have been there and willing to support in whatever way I can. Sending so much love to you and your family. xoxo

Oh, I am so, so sorry to hear. My deepest condolences on the loss of your mum. Wishing you peace and strength in this very difficult time. One is never prepared to lose a parent (or any loved one), even following an illness. It is just too much to process all at once.

Thank you guys for the condolences.

April - Mercy, my mum was that: royally difficult. Endearing in a certain backhanded way, but still one doesn’t really need to be so bull-headed all the time. Lol. Such a character. Here is a little memory for y’all: she put a bell on her keys to the absolute annoyance of everyone. Lol

Rachy, lol ... Was it so she could find the keys more easily? Or purely for the auditory statement?! Either way - a character indeed! <3

Dear Rachy. So tremendously sorry to hear this.
And you maintain your signature humor, in the face of the loss - this is your superpower.
Tell us more about Mom as you are up to it - she truly was a character.
My deepest condolences to you and your family. xo
