Laura, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how difficult this time has been, but your mother is at peace now. She should be very proud of the daughter she raised.

Our prayers are with you and your family.
Remembrance
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.
The years May wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

Laura & Family:
My thoughts have been with you and your mother daily since my mother left us in October 2010.
Her new journey has begun with her Spirit as her body was just the vessel for her Earthly life.
Our Prayers are with you at this time of grief and sorrow.
