I received an email that one of my dad's brothers, Uncle Andy died the other day. The world becomes a lonelier place as family departs, one by one. But God, and the friends He gives me will always be here. This I know, and am thankful for.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-66380116176598233312013-07-15T20:53:18.454-04:002013-07-15T20:53:18.454-04:00Tom,

I am so sorry about your Mom ... so, so sorry. But I know she was cared for by a very loving son.<br /><br />I wanted to share that shortly before my Nonna passed away, she told her sisters, "I am going home to Mother." We were never sure if she meant her earthly mother or Mary, but we like to think she meant both.<br /><br />Prayers for you. Prayers for the soul of your mother.Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-27438408094734710512013-06-30T19:04:28.102-04:002013-06-30T19:04:28.102-04:00It would be difficult in any case to post a tribut...It would be difficult in any case to post a tribute to your Mom. Give it some time. When the time is right, the words will come. <br /><br />Thank you for your prayers and the long distance friendship. I keep you in my prayers, and your Mom to soon discover the marvelous place Christ has prepared for her to dwell in eternity (if she's not there already)Maryellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377453351113353957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-12403308942155174822013-06-27T09:18:59.147-04:002013-06-27T09:18:59.147-04:00Thank you so much for your kind words.
Maryelle...Thank you so much for your kind words. <br /><br />Maryellen, caring for your husband all these years, you perhaps more than anyone knows what love means, and what love does. Albeit distant, I thank you for your friendship. I always pray for you and Clinton, and one day --- if not here --- we will meet in person. <br /><br />Ginger, you know how to love as a mom truly should, and mine did. I am glad to know you. It continues to rain much these past few days, and with what is happening in our country, I think it's God crying, along with me. But you, Ginger, give us hope.<br /><br />I will try to find time today to post some type of tribute to my mom; some have asked that I do that, but I'm not sure how to summarize 95 years.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-66895506886105396912013-06-25T17:16:14.866-04:002013-06-25T17:16:14.866-04:00Oh Tom.

Only you could find the right words to really make me understand how this feels...<br /><br />Your mom was so lucky to have you as her son. As a mother myself I know what its like to be bursting with pride. Your mother was so proud of you - of who you are. Yes worldy accomplishments are great, but you have acheived SO much more. I have never met a more dedicated son and follower of the Lord. I'm sure she left in peace to eat with him at his table and tell him again what he already knows so well "My Tommy is a great, humble, dedicated man"...<br /><br />God bless you Tom as you continue this next leg of the journey.<br /><br />Hugs& prayers -<br />xo<br />Ginger<br /><br />Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081398739828671116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-77042571658480008992013-06-25T16:27:02.429-04:002013-06-25T16:27:02.429-04:00Dear Tom

By intuition, I knew "I want to go home to my Father" were probably your Mom's words.<br /><br />So the vigil is over, but the grieving continues. Were you aware that you were grieving in these past few years? What a strange feeling it must be for you now.<br /><br />I know I've been silent for some time now, but I had been ramping up my prayers for you and your Mom. I've been with you in Spirit. It's been amazing to read how your Mom was doing and amazing to read of her strength.<br /><br />May God look with Mercy upon her soul. May the Angels come and greet her and accompany her to Paradise. May the perpetual light shine upon her. Through the mercy of God, may she rest in peace.
