An Ending

My mom lost her long battle with COPD, complicated this time with pneumonia.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks and would treasure your prayers at this time.
Make an effort to go to someone that you love, look them in the eye and tell them what they mean to you. You will never regret it.

Thinking of you in your time of sorrow. Good advice to tell those we love how much they mean to us, while we can.

Oh, Sweetie...,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your adorable Mommy. She was such a dear, I remember her walking through my shop & loving everything she saw. I remember making her paperdoll birthday card using the picture of her as a beautiful, happy, glowing child & putting on her high tops & adding her wings. I will always remember her as that adorable paper doll...now she can truly spread those wings & fly!
Big Hugs & my thought & prayers are with you dear friend.
Love,
Susie

Debbie said...

What? Oh no. I didn't see this until now. I will be lifting you and the family in prayer for God's comfort and His peace.

I am so very, very sorry.
I do not know what it's like to lose a mother (yet). I do know what it's like to love one.

May that peace of God, which passes all understanding guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.

Much love and prayer,
Debbie

Lynn - I just read your post and am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for you. As I have read your posts over the months I have learned that you are a kind, loving, caring and sensitive soul. Your mom was blessed to have you as a daughter. I will join others in praying for you and your family at this time. You have had a lot to deal with over the last month or so. Sending a big hug your way - xo

Lynn, so sorry to hear the news. My father in law is battling with COPD and it is a difficult battle as you well know. Thank you for the reminder to make efforts...a simple thing, but so oft forgotten. Now you look after yourself! We are all looking forward to having you back Julie xox

Suz said...

Dear, dear Lynn,
I am so sorry I didn't know this. Our friend Iver's memorial service was this week and we have been totally out of commission. I just wish I were there so I could put my arms around you and give you a huge hug. Then I would look you in the eye and tell you that you make a huge difference in my life, especially in your expression of faith in Jesus, God and an afterlife. I admire your parenting so very much and know that, though you tell a wonderful tale, things are often exhausting. And I love how you keep your sense of humor when things are exhausting. You are just one wonderful woman and I am holding you in my heart and sending prayers that you feel some moments of peace during this sad time.
Love you, Lynn,
Suz

I am just checking in and hoping that you see it. I want you to know that I have prayed for you.

I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling. I know that I'll know someday, probably sooner rather than later. I care. Therefore, I pray.

I've been working a lot lately and have missed getting to your blog...
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom Lynn. I can't even begin to imagine a world without our Moms; that one person that was there right from the very beginning.
In all the inevitable ups and downs of the next few weeks and months I hope you find some peace and laughter in happy memories.
Thinking of you, Jillayne
