A Time For Goodbye

Uploaded: December 03, 2009

Description

My Mom lost her battle with cancer today. She was an amazing woman who faced her disease with courage and tenacity. I will always remember her for the love and life lessons she gave me. She was surrounded by her family and friends as you can see. Boppy Bear, Alice and Spring, Sidney, Chick and Nikki.

Rest in Peace

Oh, Marta, I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a heartwarming dedication to your lovely mother.♥
I hope you find comfort knowing that Cole is probably reuniting with his grandmother today, and that you have two special angels looking over you and your family during this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Blessings, Lisa♥ #1212392

I am so sorry for your loss today. I lost my mom a few years ago and I just hope for you that you can keep many good memories of your mom with you. I loved my mom so much and have very fond memories. They are our angels looking over us. May peace be with you and your family. #8189581

So sorry to hear about the passing of your Mum, but as you say, she's no longer in pain. We lost an Aunt last April & I can still see her on our last visit, surrounded by her "friends" just like your Mum. A lovely memory. Keep smiling=^..^= #8270403

Thank you so much for your words of compassion Chris. My heart goes out to you as well for the loss of your aunt. #8274989
