Thank You.

Thank you for all of your kind thoughts, words and prayers for my Mother and my family. My Mother passed away last night around 8:30 PM. I do believe she is celebrating with my Father. I really appreciated all the wonderful comments that each of you posted concerning the quote yesterday from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. I loved reading what each of you thought as you read that quote. Thank you for sharing.

Our family is now working on the process of preparing for her funeral and all the responsibilities that occur after the death of a parent or a loved one. It's quite a challenge to work with multiple opinions and feelings about how to proceed. I pray that everyone will remember, and be thankful for, the love and guidance of our Mother and Grandmother. I feel confident that she is probably trying to help us organize from the heavens.

Thank you for sharing such a deep moment with us. It was this time last year that my Grandmother passed away... not nearly the same as a mother, but nonetheless it was trying for me. May your memories be a comfort to you in this trying time.

Warm regards,
Stacey

I think you have a good start on making those plans. Just knowing up front that there will be differences might make the process less stressful. You have already honored your mother in the live you have lived and the words you have shared here.
