God bless & heal you - you & your family are in our prayers.
I think Mike said it well a page or two ago:
"Your mom and I debated a few times, but she was never rude, as some people got during the election year. I have been reading all of the messages on this thread and those that announced the success of the operation and, sadly, that which gave all of us the bad news of your mom's passing. Just look and see how many people your mother touched here on the DIS alone. I can't imagine how many she touched totally. Just as Clarence says in the movie; one never knows how many people's live's they touch. It truly is a wonderful life and your mom's was exceptionally wonderful."
Starshine,
I just want to say that the earlier thread that gave us the sad news,
and now yours also, is a true testimony to your mom.
So many people who just a few weeks ago would not
have posted alongside others, are now joined together in similar emotion.
We grieve & love... Together.
