Mom passed last night ;-(

Dear Mmking,

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mom. You were a very supportive daughter and your mom was very lucky to have you as her advocate. She is at peace now and in a much better place. I hope she runs into my husband John who died on July 8th. I’m sure he would like a good cookie. Hugs, PeggyP

Dear MM,

Moms have a way of doing what they believe is best for their children. I lost my Mom in 2009 to CC so I know what you are going through. You and your siblings are the amazing legacy that she leaves behind. I know she is proud of all of you.

The next days will be tough, but you will find a deep strength inside of you that will get you through all the countless decisions that have to be made. Be gentle with yourself in the coming weeks. Grieving is the hardest job we ever do and no two people will grieve in the same way or timeframe. Be kind to yourself and take your time to find your own way.

We are all here for you as you tackle the next steps of this journey.

I’m sending hugs and prayers for healing and understanding…

Hugs,
Pam

MMKING I am so terribly sorry and you are right, Mom didn’t want to suffer nor did she want to put anyone else through more. I’ll bet she is making the best Garden ever and I hope she is growing some basil so Teddy can make everyone his Marinara Sauce! My heartfelt condolences go out to your family.

Letter from Heaven by Ruth Ann Mahaffey

To my dearest family some things I’d like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay,
I’m writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I’m out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said “I welcome you,
It’s good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
One thing is for certain though my life on earth is o’er
I’m closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
Together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind
I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it’s time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you’re not going . . you’re just coming here to me.
