My Mamma died
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.

OMG!!!
Lav, I know there are no words now to ease your grief. It's very tough, and the tears will flow. I know afs stated a few weeks back you were upset with your mom's health. I'm sure your comfort and presence gave your mom strength when she needed it. Don't try to hide your grief. It will come. Hopefully it will be mixed with blessed memories of your mom, your angel.
I can only offer prayers and hopes that you find some comfort in this agononizing time.

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!

Oh, poor dear Lavinia.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I just had a bad feeling when I didn't hear from you the last time I wrote. I wish there was something we could do to alleviate the pain of losing a beloved mother. Alas, all I can offer is to pray to God to give you strength and hope that time heal this wound. May she rest in peace.

I'm terribly sorry to hear this news of your mother's passing, Lavinia. It's never easy to lose someone we love and care so much for. Like everyone else, I prayed for the health and well-being of you and your mother when Afs told us of her grave state.
There really are no words I can say that will offer any comfort. Just know that I'm here, and I will continue praying for you. God bless you, Lavinia...and I'm so sorry for your loss.
Lavinia,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that right now no words will ease the pain in your heavy heart, but please know that my prayers are with you and your dear mama. Take some comfort that she is now pain-free, and cling to all the wonderful memories that no one can take from you.
God Bless you
TIS

Dear Lavinia,
At this very difficult time, I hope you'll remember that all of us here will offer you all that we can - love, support, and prayers. Your words reflect the deep love that I am sure you shared with your dear mamma, and I can imagine she was just as sweet as the Lavi we know here. Her spirit will live on through you, and she will always be smiling down on you. You will be in my prayers.
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.
Signor V.

Lavinia,
A mother's love can never be replaced. The only love that counts is the love you share with others, in her memory.
My deepest sympathies for your loss.

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!
