letting go of them is so hard. So cool that you sent her off in a casket hand made by you folks. No doubt she would be very pleased.
I used to paginate (electronic layout) the paid death notices (in classified section) at our paper for Monday morning edition. You see all those names and faces and realize that each one of them was somebody very important, at least to some people. Only thing I learned for all that is to hold tight to those who matter to you. None of us are promised tomorrow.
May your mother rest in peace and all of you who cared for her find comfort in the memories of your times together.
thank you for sharing.
