Thank you my OH family for your condolences and prayers.

Rita~  Your loving words about your mother brought tears to my eyes, also.  I know she is heaven with God now and will always be proud of you.  She had a beautiful smile and I see where you get your smile from.  *hugs to you*  You will be in my prayers.

Well kiddo, we're thinking of you and hoping that you're gonna snap back to your regular self.  I've lost a parent and understand your pain, and with time, life will get easier.  I hate to see or hear of you feeling bad or having some form of hurt in your life.  I'm  always here if there's anything you need.

Such beautiful words for a beautiful lady.  That was a wonderful tribute to your mother and she would be so happy with the kind words you said.
Hugs and prayers to you Miss Rita!

I made a huge mistake by peeking into your post earlier this morning while I was at the office.  I was practically on the floor in tears when I read your beautiful words.  I know your heart is breaking, but you must know the legacy that your dear mother left you continues in your caring and beautiful heart.  Continue to make her proud and she will be with you forever in your deeds and life.  I am so proud to count you as one of my friends!  I know you are as great a lady as your dear mother, Lovie!  She couldn't have raised you to be a better person!  Hang in there and know that you are always in my heart.  You know how to reach me if you need to my dear friend!  All my love...Ruth

Ok, I'll admit it, I got all teary too reading your wonderful account of your beautiful mother.  You can see the love and the pride in her heart through that wonderful smile.  Thank you for sharing with us, and we are truly honored that you have let us be a part of this with you.  You are the real tribute to this precious woman.  I feel blessed to be able to know why you are who you are and what kind of great stock you come from.    Be in God's comfort.  Michael.

The pictures are beautiful! Thank you so much Rita for sharing a very deep part of you right now. I will be praying for you and your family. God will give you peace like you have never known for the next few days. Hugs

OMG, Rita, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm stting here sobbing because I know exactly how you feel. It was a year for me on Sept. 24 this year, and I took a personal day because I couldn't face being at work. I don't know which is hardes****ching them deteriorate in a nursing home and feeling helpless that you can't care for them or actually losing them.  At least we know she's at peace, and she's waiting for you on the other side.
