What can I say that is sensitive,of value to others and appreciative of your transparent sharing during such a time in life.Thank you.I am not a modern person who makes the computer more than it should be but am finding it is fine tool for sharing real life values and also getting that occasional needed uplift.I am an old preacher so it is more good practice for drawing others to a better way without force or self-promotion.God Bless
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Barbara; I know how hard it is to lose a mom and I know you are still grieving your dad

Barbara,
I am so very sorry to hear about your mother's death. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.
I hope you do not mind but i read your previous entry entitled Mom, your mother sounded like a wonderful person and i love the part of when you sang Over the Rainbow to her. She is now with the others who have passed and who she loved so much, also free from pain.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Barbara,
I am very sad to hear you lost your mother early last Sunday, and wish to express my sympathies and support at this time. As you may be aware, I lost my mother 2 months ago and know only too well what you are going through. I am pleased that your mom is no longer suffering, and has gone to a place without pain. Wishing you strength for the funeral and the days, weeks, and months to come.
