Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Gwynne, So many well wishes from so many of your dearest friends. I want you to know that when I lost my mom, I was pretty young, it was one of the hardest things I've ever been through for a very long time. I think pf with Don has been hard but nothing can replace a mother. I've been with Don longer than I was ever with my mom, but I still miss her. When I see my daughters in law with their mothers, I ache with sadness. You have my love and my condolences. Alzheimers is another trecherous disease. She certainly is in a better place. Prayers are with you. K IllinoisGwynne Keyland wrote: Just wanted to tell everyone the sad news that mymother died last night.
