Several of you asked for this and instead of trying to figure out who did
and who didn't, I'm sending everyone both the obituary and the link.
Thank you for all the cards, letters, phone calls, etc., that you've all
sent our way. We had a well-attended visitation on Thursday night, followed
by
a brief, but very heartfelt service the next morning. Although the reason
was tough, it was great to see a lot of you again. Mom had friends from all
walks of life and I think I can say for her that each and every one of you
meant as much to her as she did to you.
I met many of you only by getting into her mailbox after she went into the
hospital. From what you wrote and what she told me about some of her online
buddies, she chose some special people to call friend. Even though Mom is no
longer able to write to you, I hope that you won't forget her and you'll
occasionally write to me and say hey. My email is _DejaVu1182@xxxxxxxx
(mailto:DejaVu1182@xxxxxxx) .
As I said before, I will write again as soon as we have our celebration of
Mom's life planned. Please be patient, we've got a lot to do right now, but
it will happen.
