Lost my mother today

Thank you for the important reminder...my condolences to you during this difficult time!  Bless,

Poor baby. I lost my mother, light in my life, on the 22nd.

I KNOW this pain you are feeling. xoxo

Write to me if you need to, ANY time.

Kelly, I'm terribly sorry. I will think about her today and the cute little story you told me about her "boyfriend".
((hugs))

Thank you so much Gina!

It was such a blessing that I was able to surround her with people who loved her. It wasn't hard to do, frankly.

Here's the email he sent:
