Mom passed away the afternoon of Ash Wednesday. My sister and her son were with her; I was 20 minutes too late. But I had spent the night before with her, holding her hand until she slept.
The church service was beautiful, and very comforting to our family. Some times will be difficult as I miss her terribly, but I know she is pain free and in a much better place. The circle in heaven grows larger, and as my son said, they are all waiting on us to join them.
Thank you for your prayers, and you all continue to be in mine.
