(1980-something)
I wish I had the words to express what I feel right now, but I don't. Mom passed away yesterday (9/1/2011) quite suddenly. I had seen her that morning and she was sleeping but seemed stable. She went between the time they called my husband and my husband woke me up. Its hard to believe she is actually gone, but on the other hand I'm so glad she's not in pain any more.

My Mom, Claudia, was one of those truly good and wonderful people. She was talented, quick witted, funny, thoughtful, and loving. I can't think of any friend I had that didn't call her mom. Even some of my exes stayed in touch with her. She taught me how to sew, can, play music,garden, cook, clean, use my imagination and so many more little things its hard to tell them all. She loved Edgar Allen Poe and Simon and Garfunkel. She loved poetry and books and movies. She loved to sew and embroider. She taught me you are never too old for stuffed animals, playgrounds, playing dress-up, and new adventures.

I love you so much, Momma. Dad and I are going to miss you. I don't think we'll ever stop missing you. I hope you are on some other newer, greater adventure.
i hope so to. and i hope she has a closet full of dress up clothes.
ReplyDeletebig hugs and much love to you, your dad, and your family.
Oh E. Much love. I'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your mom. I want you to know, I am praying for you and your family. May God bless you all, in this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely memorial Daughter. Thank you. Love Dad.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. It sounds like your mom was wonderful and remarkable woman, and she will be missed.
ReplyDeleteHugs and warm wishes from this corner.
Dear Elizabeth, Your memorial is perfect. Your mom was very creative and imaginative. Her imagination, and her love for you, your kids and your Dad helped her through some very hard times. She has left you a great legacy. We have some lovely pieces of her handwork in our home, and some that were in Grandpa's house are on their way to you! We hold you in our hearts and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that. Even though I didn't know her, she sounds like a great person. This household agrees about stuffed animals...
ReplyDeleteAwh! I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I, like you, believe she is an a better place. My regrets!
ReplyDeleteOh Elizabeth I am so sorry. I was catching up on blogs after my vacation and saw this sad news. You know that she is more comfortable now. You were very lucky to have her for a mother.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for being awesome and for your kind words.
