Dear friends,
this is the saddest post of all, the one I wish I didn't have to write. My beloved Mother passed away on June 17th to be with our Heavenly Father. No words can express the loss my sister and I feel, no words can say how much we miss her. We still find it hard to believe she’s gone. Our only consolation is that she’s now walking free from pain in the gardens of God.
She was a warrior, a real tigress. She was generous and passionate, a great cook and had a wonderful sense of humour. But, above all, she was a loving Mamma.
Her Spirit is with us. She will watch over us.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)

Lavinia - I am so saddened to hear this. We all were praying for you and your mom. Perhaps GOD's way of answering our prayers was by taking taking her home with him and freeing your mom of the pain and suffering that she was going through. While I know that you'll never get over this loss, I will pray that you will find comfort in knowing that your mom is no longer suffering. My sincerest condolences.
Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Lavinia,
I am so very sorry to read about your loss. I know the grief you are going through must be beyond all words.
My deepest condolences to you and your sister. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lav, I am SO sorry to hear this! I hope you get some relief, in time, knowing that this family here wishes you comfort. Your mom will always be with you in spirit, so take comfort in that. All my love and best wishes are with you.
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Lavi, dear, I've just read your news, and feel quite shocked. I knew it was coming, but of course I hoped, as I think both of you did too, that it will happen as late as possible, that it will not be so soon. I have no words to express how I feel for you, and I'll pray for you both, of course. But I must say, judging from what I know, that you were loving and caring daughter, and did everything you could, struggling for her life and soothing her pain during the whole illness. Lavi, just think - she suffered it all to the end now, and there will be no suffering for her anymore, forever! She deserves a good rest now, she is in the very place to heal all pains. And you have a bright prospect of meeting, and never parting again! Now the last months of pain, loss, and misery are too fresh in your memory, and certainly you cannot think of her without remembering them. But one day, you will see that you keep her close to your heart, as a guardian-angel, and thinking of her you remember not only the last days, but the whole life, the better times and moments so dear, and it gives you warmth and joy, and strength to deserve the meeting, to be worthy of her. I don't know, it's hard to express. Anyway, I hug you dear, many times. May God be with you and your sister!
