Dear Jo,

I wish you love, light, and laughter for the rest of your life, as your Mom would surely wish for you.
She was loved by the people she loved and cared for, lived her life in the best manner she could, and have no doubt whatsoever that now, she is one with the light.
The sense of loss will never leave you, and do not even fight it, for she deserves to be remembered, just when the pain comes up in huge waves, smile and say: "How are you, Mom? Yes, you are always in my mind, and I will always love you!"

I lost my Dad when I was 17. I know the pain very well. I've lived with it most of my life. Here's a note received from Jo late last night. I am taking the liberty of posting it here. Forgive me if that's the wrong thing to do. I think Jo, if she's not already contacted you, would want you to know ...

: Finally, a few minutes to spare, and to tell you our mom died late Saturday
: night, at home, with her daughters, oldest granddaughter (who is an RN)and
: her honorary "son" who flew over from Ireland when he was told the news. My
: dad couldn't handle it too well and had removed himself from the room and
: went off to bed; as it was past 11pm. At 89, his bedtime is way before that.
: Anyway, I would like to think my mom was in no pain; I hope she wasn't. I
: know she's in a better place now. Her rosary is tomorrow night; her funeral
: is Thursday. Maybe by Friday, I'll be able to get some sleep......

: Thanks for mentioning it on the board. I wasn't going to; as I don't think
: anyone really wants it to be a bulletin board; but it has been nice for all
: of the folks who have emailed me. (I wondered how all of these people
: knew....and finally I got the time to check the board....)(Good update, by
: the way. Thanks.)

: Thanks also for the good thoughts and prayers.

: More about things later; got three sets of pants to hem...

: Jo
