Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I’m deeply sorry for your loss.

I so appreciate you guys!

Helena, Laurie - she put the bell on ‘so we’d know she’s coming.’ Omigosh. So irritating. Lol

I am so sorry, Rachy!

Rachy, your Mama was full of spice and spunk! Very memorable

Keep the memories alive. You will find them therapeutic and soothing over time.

Angie, spicy is the word! Family lawyer said so. Family guru did too. Lol!

I am so sorry.

I have loved your stories about her over the years. Thank you for sharing her with us.

So very sorry to hear this Rachy. May your wonderful memories of your mom help sustain you and your family.

I'm SO sorry...losing your mom is one of the hardest things to go thru in life (((hugs))) She sounds like quite the character! Treasure the good memories, she'll live on in your heart forever. Angel sends sloppy doggeh kisses...

My head goes out to you - it’s a very hard time. Thinking of you and sending my best wishes.

"royally difficult." I love that. Maybe she's sipping tea with my royally difficult mother now in the hereafter.

I found it helped me to write about my mother after she died. Still does. She is always talking in my head, after all. Still as stubborn as ever.

It's hard to lose a parent. Sending hugs your way.

Oh racheylou , my heart is with you. I almost feel like I knew her from your stories over the years. So much love to you and your family.
