    Sharon and MaryAnn,

    I know that it is a very hard thing to loose you parent. You need to remember all the good times and memories of your Mom\’s laughter and guiding hand. You both took great care of her in her final days and I am sure it was difficult to manage everything and visits to the nursing home/hospital. But you did your best and I\’m sure she knew that too! She is at peace and her spirit will be with you always! My deepest sympathy to you and your families.

    Linda

    Sharon & Mary Ann,

    Again, I\’m so sorry for your loss of mom. Scot was just by to say hi and shared with me how to get into this space to record my thoughts and my prayer for you both and for your family.

    I would very much like to be present for you tomorrow morning. At the same time I\’m in conversation with my boss — Fr. Al — who \”I think\” is coming down in the morning to help me begin working toward my chaplain certification. If I can move this around I will do so in a heart beat! But beside this, I\’ll stop by to say hi this afternoon as I can do this much.

    My prayer for you is that You keep close to each other and your family — relationships matter the most — and they\’re the things that matter most to God, beside the Resurrection and your mom\’s new & eternal life. My prayers and thoughts go with you, my friends. Chaplain Les.
