Its really tough to go thru this to say the least! Randi I don't know if I

ever got this or not but thats why this group is really special!! I';m

behind on my email so this can't be blamed on yahoo ) We are always there

for you and all of us are very caring, loving people!! God Bless..My mom and

step mom died in May (Not same year). Its always very painful.. Anytime

lady, we're here! At least if our pc's and webs keep running )

Hugs

Sharon

BTW and out of the blue

Robin congradulations about the minister thing, can't think of the right

word,hate that!! I always thought you were so special!!

Re: LETTER OF INTRODUCTION

Randi, I somehow missed this post from you earlier!

You have my greatest sympathies and prayers!

My mom died after a long and painful illness a couple of years ago

and my dad died of cancer last fall! My sisters and I helped my dad

care for my mom and then one of my sisters, joy and I took care of my

dad at home with Hospice care. He died with us all there at home and

it was one of the most painful and wonderful things I ever

experienced!

If you need to talk as you continue to go thru your own special

experience with this, please let me know! Myself and the others on

this list are great listeners.

And of course you must keep us posted on you mother's condition!!

Love & Prayers,

birdsong

PS: is one of the strongest, courageous and Loving women I have

ever had the opportunity to get to know! And she doesn't even know

it!<G>

Unfortunately, I had just taken a big swig of water - right before I read
