RIP to an irreplaceable woman...

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

I know last summer I had mentioned that my mother was ill and many people here supported me with comments and prayers.

My mother passed away this past Saturday, May 26th after suffering for over 2 years. I know she is in peace now but it is still difficult for me to think of her not being here. I just keep thinking about all the things she will miss, like my sister's wedding...meeting any grandchildren...etc. 

She had started to go more downhill right before my wedding on May 4th and was not able to attend, much to mine and her distress...she did however get to see me in my dress and see my wedding photos, so I am grateful for at least that much.

She passed away quietly in the hospital in Boston while I held her hand.

R.I.P. Mommy.

Oh Katie, I am so so sorry. I am so sorry. I wish I could just hug you. You are right no one can replace a mom. Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture of her with us. You look like your mom. I bet she is smiling down from Heaven and so proud of you. Though she won't be there physically, in spirit she will be there to see your children, your sisters wedding.

I am sorry. Lots of love and prayers.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Katie.

Oh Kate... I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom.  I lost my Mom on May 22, 2005 and life has not been the same without her.  I miss her every day of my life.  Keep your Mom close to you by keeping her in your heart always.  Remember the good times and know she is a peace now.

Thinking of you during this time.

Katie, very sad for you reading this.  It is so hard to lose your Mom, especially when you are just at the start of your married life. There are no words that I can find that will be adequate but just to let you know I am thinking of you  and wishing you strength.  A time will come when all your memories of your Mom will be happy ones. It is wonderful that you were with her to the end.  That is a lovely picture of the two of you to treasure.  Take very good care of yourself.

Im so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad when I was 19, so I know what you are going through. Time will help heal the wounds, but you will never forget your Mom.

I am very sorry to hear of your mother's death. It is never easy to lose a parent but I am glad you got to say goodbye and that she saw pictures of the wedding. Your mom will always be with you in things she taught you and memories. I think of my parents often.
