So sorry for your loss of your mom. May your wonderful memories of her help you through this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

To the family of Eleanore,

Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.  I have many fond memories of your Mom and Dad.  We had a lot of great times together.  Thinking of you.  From, Cab Thibault, Duluth

Dearest Sue, Sorry to hear that your Mother transitioned. My heart is with you. From experiences with long transitions - I know the grief is still huge and acute after that final trsnsition- even as we prepare for it. Take care of yourself - take time to grieve and miss Mom's physical presence. The hole she leaves is big, the edges soften with time. Now she is looking down on your family telling you all thanks and to move on with your lives. Even though she won' t be with you in person I know she'll always be watching after you. With love and sadness. Patty
