Pam, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I imagine that you've been grieving her

loss for a long time, as I did with my Mama. May you find peace in knowing that

LBD can no longer work its evil on her, and that she's at peace and rest.

Pam, I am so sorry your have lost your dear mother. I sensed through the years

how much she meant to you and how diligent you were in taking the best care

possible of her. The memorial you include speaks volumes as to the love between

you. You will always have that in your heart.

Pam,

My thoughts are with you as you celebrate your Mom's life. She did it up big

here on earth and will do the same in the next world, I am sure.

Take some breaths and get lots of hugs,

It is time to grieve......yet again.

Hugs,

Donna R

Cared for Mom 3 years in my home and the last year at a nh. She passed away

from LBD in 2002.

I am so sad to say that my mother finally lost her

battle on April 11th, 2011...

[Guest guest]

My sincere sympathy goes out to you at this very sad time. I wish you very

happy memories of your mother.

[Guest guest]

Dear Pammie,

I tried to send this message once before, but it didn't go through (I think).

I am so sorry to learn about your Mom's passing. She sounded like quite a

woman. You were lucky to have her for a Mom, just as she was lucky to have you

for a daughter. You were really wonderful to her.

I remember reading your posts about your Mom when I was new to the yahoo group;

you were helpful, and inspirational. My sincere condolences.

Sending love from NY
