She was a fashionista, and I'm sure her white robe has all the appropriate bling on it. And, finally, she will get dad to dance with her!

With love,

My prayers are with you & your family. I have been reading your posts on your Mothers declining health.......brought back some memories of my own......but I am glad she was able to to have a mostly healthy & peaceful life & that the end came peacefully.

89 1/2 years gave you a long enjoyment with her & I know many wonderful memories to hold onto. Amazing how God gives us little pieces of information when we look back on it....things we don't recognize exactly at the time.

It is wonderful to know that she is in her beautiful white robe, dancing with your Dad.......I know just how much peace that gives to you.

There are always struggles with funeral arrangements....I was the only one involved in arranging my Mothers funeral & I was in the hospital the whole time.....except for a few days when I had to escape AMA to even go to the funeral.....it was in January & the rains wouldn't stop long enough.....took over 2 weeks before we could have the funeral. Her church held a memorial service......the graveside funeral was only for relatives & very close friends for my protection......I am glad that you can do a special funeral for your mother....as it is the time for all who care to come together...I am sure the details will all work out the way they are supposed to.....knowing it adds to the stress, but it all works out in the end no matter how much we are stressed about it. I am sure it will be a beautiful remembrance for your MOther....as funerals are for the ones left behind as a tribute to the one who has died.....which is why we always want it to be perfect......I am sure it will be.....even with a glitch here or there.

Just want you to know that you & your family are in my prayers & I know the sorrow you are feeling & yet the peace at the same time. It is never easy to let go when the actual time comes, but we know that her future is with God & that is what is important.
