    Sorry for your family's loss yet she is no longer in pain and suffering. Think of this as a voyage where the ship leaves the dock and gets to the horizon where you can no longer view it from where you stand at shore. You know the ship is there ~ you just can't see it. The memories and love remain with you. Hope those fond memories help you heal.

    Dear Cathy, my deepest condolences on the loss of your loving mom. You will be feeling her presence for a long time. Although her life on earth is over, she is not lost as she has found her way to a higher peaceful life with the Lord. Someday our turn will come. She will be there to greet you when your turn comes.

    May the good memories of her life with you brightens your days at this difficult time. Sending love and prayers.
    (((Warm hugs)))

    Dear Cathy,
    May the words of this old song bring comfort!
    But just think of stepping on shore,
    And finding it Heaven!
    If touching a hand, and finding it God,
    Of breathing new air and finding it celestial,
    Of waking up in Glory,
    And finding it Home!
    Sending Love and Big Hugs, my friend~
    Julie
