I feel so blessed by your friendship!<br /><br />As I reflect on my Mom's life, I realize anew that there is such a fine outline to life, with so much outside the lines as well as within...<br /><br />There are such precious joys to be had in these days and times that we all share - and that the luckiest of us get to share with those who we love most.<br /><br />I hope all my friends get to enjoy the kind of happiness I shared with my Mom and Dad and my brother and our whole big wonderful family (and our extended family of friends and neighbors and good fellows, including a whole lot of feline and canine 'people', too).<br /><br />Thank you so much for your support.Pat Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770886198996983680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022243940333415704.post-29438397456143001752013-02-11T01:31:47.753-05:002013-02-11T01:31:47.753-05:00Pat -

No person close to me has died other than watching my dog and 2 cats die in my arms - and they have my family. So, I can only imagine what it must have been like for you to be with your Mom as she exhaled her last breaths. At the same time, what I take away most is the amazing woman your Mom was. And it is obvious that everything important to her, she passed along to you. Blessings upon you, Pat.<br /><br />MoniqueMonique Liddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581045047444260284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022243940333415704.post-22285210066244557902013-01-30T15:56:21.155-05:002013-01-30T15:56:21.155-05:00Thank you, Linda.

It is so wonderful when the facts of our lives line up with the sort of person who we really are -- in my Mom's case, it was definitely true that all the wonderful lines of her life's resume really did represent her personality. She was a life-long volunteer, a long-time avid reader, and a spiritually strong and kind person who demonstrated her strength by perseverance and a quiet determination to do the right thing. Thank you so much for your kind words and your support.Pat Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770886198996983680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022243940333415704.post-27439695927856027882013-01-30T15:48:14.873-05:002013-01-30T15:48:14.873-05:00Thank you, Kris, for your kind words and your supp...Thank you, Kris, for your kind words and your support.

How amazing that she got her GED in her 50s, and then went on to college! <br />My deepest sympathies for your loss. <br />-LindaLinda G.

I was, and I believe others also will be, comforted and blessed by your insightful words on the love that passed between you and your mother. In a few well-chosen words you have shown how the gift of a mother’s love continues to give long past death. I pray that the love she gave will continue to bloom and grow in each and every member of your family.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873170883036770384noreply@blogger.com
