I Love and miss my mom very much there is a pain in my heart so deep and I know that many of you who knew her know what I mean. I recieved a card from one of Mom's friends that I think says it best written by E.Brenneman Don't think of her as gone away- her journey's just begun, life holds so many facets-this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away, and think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched... for nothing loved is ever lost- and she was loved so much.

Just like your hearts my heart is broken at the loss of you mother and my best friend. Mary and I hadn't know each other but for about 11 months, but she was so geniune that I liked her immediately. Not only did we hit it off, so did Penny and Sidney. Who knew that two dogs would bond together so much that they HAD to see each other everyday, and would bring Mary and I so close as well. We miss her so deeply and are so very grateful that she came into our lives.
