Elizabeth,
I understand your emotions quite well as my mother went home many years ago, and I’m grateful to God thay I was able to do what I did…It’s not easy. One of my sisters said it was easy for me because I’m the nurse…That made it harder, my knowledge was too great…I still have communication with my mother, whenever I need female wisdom she and her sister have been there…I’m blessed as I know you are…We buried my husbands brother last week. The angels are busy gathering souls home while we are here to share the grief, comfort one another, love one another and grow from the experience…God Bless You and (if I don’t get to see you before) Happy Labor Day.
Love,
Charlyn

Dear Elizabeth & Family
Your story is a story of Love beautiful words and
memories, sharing reflecting and rebirth.. I admire
your courage and strength. I send you from my heart Love and support. You will learn more about mom
now that she has passed then you ever could imagine.
You will hear her voice, music box will play on their own. Her scent will be freh in the air. You will feel
her Love more then ever and know what a support she always was in her own way. All these every day little things now become huge understandings and beautiful memories and realities. But this is one phase in your
life that will be powerful!!!!

Many Blessings to you and your Family
Love
Linda

Thank you Elizabeth for your words, your heart and your story. As Sue woke me up from a deep sleep last night and told me it would be soon, a great peace came over me. I knew that her journey was about to begin and the world would change.

As I child, we would visit and she would always have a smile for us, for me. It would always be long drive in the car, with my two sisters and the endless miles of road. But we always knew it would be new and exciting with your mom and dad. She would always greet us with such warmth and love, and you knew we were with family. And yes, she was sometimes firm, but that was ok with me as I was a handful as they say.

We will all miss her and wish that we could journey north to be with you this week. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all. And when your fathers phone call came this morning, I was working on the computer in my upstairs office. A small light that I keep, which almost never works began to flash on and off like crazy. I couldn’t turn it off until the call was over. It was then I knew that she was well on her journey and it was wonderful. Peace filled my room. Goodbye, my Aunt! I will always love you.

I honor you Elizabeth and your family in the beautiful way you have honored your mother. I don’t know her, but what you have written above speaks to me, so that my eyes must release water into the great ocean of shared experience. I also lost a friend yesterday to cancer. And in the prayer I was singing for my friend Lisa and your mother this morning, I came to understand the colors of feelings that we all share in life and death. Love and blessings and peace to you and your family. Elissa

A wonderful soul has left us to join the Ancestors. How wonderful for her. Sounds like she left in dignity and peace and has made the transistion in joy. Sing Joyfully Elizabeth, God will give you the strength and remember to record it.
Blessings always to you and your family especially your baby.
