To all my group friends who are my extended family

[Guest guest]

I thought long and hard about this and decided I would mention it to all of you.

You have all made the group what it is today, Fantastic!. I have made so many

wonderful friends and cooked so many of your recipes as I share mine too.

 

This morning at 5:30am my Mother passed away. It has torn a hole in my heart

but at the same time lifted a heavy weight off my shoulders m, she is finally

at peace and there is no more pain. She had a long hard fight for 3-1/2 years.

I have been with her daily to see her through this.

I have many things I have to take care of right now but I will be back in the

group ASAP and I can catch posts from my blackberry too.

 

Much love, dig out those pots and pans and cook something good, Mama Rose would

love that.

Dear Donna......

You have my most sincere condolences on the loss of one of the most important

people who will ever be in your life. I lost my own sweet, wonderful mother

over 25 years ago when she was only 58. Although it has gotten easier to deal

with over the years, I still miss her and think of her every single day.

 

Take care......

Donna - Losing a Mother is very, very tough. I lost mine when I was 15

years old. I can't imagine having her into adulthood and then losing

her. Sympathies to you and family...I wish for you many wonderful

memories.

Dear Donna, my deepest sympathies, please know that we folks (your

neighbors in spirit) are here thinking of you . I still think of things to

tell

mom that she would have found funny..and then i go ahead and tell her..for

me it's some small comfort..we all find ways to keep significant people

alive in our hearts and minds..some build monuments, some build memories..God

Precious Donna, I know  it hurts. Although it has been 13 years  since loosing

my father, I still hear something on television or read it online and want to

discuss it with him. My hand reaches for the phone and then before I get the

first number dialed I remember. You'll get told that the pain lessens in time.

Maybe it does.

 

I know  how  many vegetarian meals  you've had to make and take to her so she

could remain the long time vegetarian she was.  I also know  that you're going

to automatically pull out the storage containers and start her lunch or dinner

and I know  you're going to cry when you put it away because she won't be there

to eat what you bring.

 

I never got to tell you how  I laughed when I imagined your mother's  reaction

to the hospital giving you Jello when you were a child in the hospital. I

suspect somewhere deep inside her, she remembered that and appreciated what you

did - especially all the times they tried giving her the same Jello. (Probably

the same pan of Jello at that.)

 

You aren't alone. Love and hugs, Jeanne

Donna,

I have lost my mom and my dad. There are no words to make it all right,except

perhaps God knows best. The pain never goes away but is lessened when you fill

your heart with all the memories of the time you had.

My thoughts are with you at this time.

Hi,

 

 

I know your pain all too well. I lost my mother some years ago to emphysema

which see got through smoking. She was a rock to me, but you know, she still is

in a way because shehas left me in body but she is still with me in my memories.

I'm sure your mother will always be there for you in the same way for you.

 

 

They are always missed, but not in our hearts.

[Guest guest]

Donna,

 

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a recipe that you posted awhile back that

was Mama Rose's and I have not made it. I'm going home tonight and making it in

her memory. In time you will find comfort in the memories you shared with her

and your time together. You took such great care of her and she loved you

deeply for it.

 

Hugs,

Mindy

Donna, be strong and hang in there.

Love you and thank you for all the help you have given me off list when you

probably didn't even have the extra time to spare.

You are a Saint to me.

God Bless,
