Julia: It is very pleasing to know that your mother had such a long, productive and loving life. I know however , from personal experience, that one never really gets ready for Mom not being around. Please find some element of comfort in the fact that she is now in her Heavenly Home, a much better place. Our prayer are with you and the family.

Here’s a poem written for us by a woman I work with, Jackie James with her deepest sympathy:
Quiet Sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do so peacefully
So to you
Please don’t weep
My flesh may be gone
But my spirit is much so alive
It was great to be there
But this is the end of my ride
I’ll be with you everyday
As you carry me in your heart
And by doing this dear
Know that we are never apart
I started this chapter in life
And now my story ends
But along the way
I gained a family and great friends
So as the curtain closes
And I now stand center stage
This is where I start a new beginning
Just on the next page
