Mom, you are forever in our thoughts and our hearts. We love you and always will. There are no words to express the grief and sorrow we feel. But we are grateful you are finally in peace and no longer suffering. I only wish I could have been there to hold your hand in the end. I will forever hold your memory in my heart. And so will Kerri, I will make sure of it.

I am so sorry Viv.
Viv, your mom will always live on in your heart. She knows how much you loved her and will now be an angel sitting on your shoulder. I'm so sorry that you couldn't be there with her, I know how much that would have meant to you. Hugs to you, dear friend!
My thoughts and prayers are with you my friend...
My heart was so heavy as I read your post, so sorry for your loss Viv.
Sending our thoughts and prayers to you at this difficult time.
Hugs..
So sorry to hear about your mom. You did everything possible when you could.
Hugs
Viv,
Please know that we love you & are so sorry that your mom has passed away. I know that she was sick for a long time but also know that losing a mommy sucks. There is no one as special as that one person in our lives.
In your previous post, you mentioned that you weren't there for your mom at the most important time - when she needed you most. Eventually you will know that you were there.
You were there each & every time
-you drove down to FL to be with her
-she got to see her amazing granddaughter
-you played cards or yahtzee with her & Kerri
-during every phone conversation
-on each of your trips as you became her primary caretaker so your dad could take a breather
I truly believe that G-d works in ways that only He understands. You weren't meant to be there with Kerri when this happened.
Your mom loves you & the wonderful husband & daughter that you are journeying through life with. Your mom will forever smile down upon you as you tell stories to Kerri & honor her memory.
Having met your mom only a few times, I know that she loves you & your family. Kerri gave her so much naches. I can remember Kerri's 2nd birthday party at My Gym when she would look over at Kerri & smile seeing the delight that this sweet child gives to you. These are the memories that you should carry. The memories of love & joy.
Sending love & hugs,
Tammie
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Just know that you did everything in your power to make her final days the very best that you could. As Tammie said, you were not meant to be there. You will remember your mom for the wonderful mother, grandmother and wife that she was.
Hugs & Kisses to you and your Family.
I am not good at this sorta thing but I want you to know I am very sorry for you loss! I know when I lost MJ It was just nice to know people cared!
Again, you need to take care of you for your family right now. I know it's hard to put your arms around your Dad and sisters from 1200 miles away but they know what you have done to help. I said in a previous post that now that Felicia is finally at peace and without pain we should all remember this sorrow we feel is for our own selfish loss. How could we want her to continue as she was? Of course we wouldn't. It's our griefing OUR loss, not hers. My Mom told me before she died that she wasn't afraid, that she welcomed death to relieve her pain and suffering. Her only regret at that point was that she had to leave us behind. And she cried because in our selfish human nature she thought about how she would miss us. But she won't. I told her she was going ahead to prepare the way for us and to join her parents and siblings. They used to sing together many many years ago on radio. They were amazing to listen to and some of my happiest childhood memories are of all the family at my Granparent's house singing and playing guitars. And now they are all where they can do it again. All but two.
You Mom goes ahead to prepare things for you all; for your Dad, your sisters and family. She joins those who have gone before her and they are rejoicing at the homecoming of your Mom. We should rejoice for her too; she is no longer in pain, she is no longer on this earth watching the daily horrors as society falls apart. She doesn't have to struggle anymore. She is young and healthy again able to run and breathe freely. Let's celebrate the life of such a witty woman: smart, funny with such a dry sense of humor, kind, forgiving and sometimes sharp but never meaning to harm. She was not perfect, not a saint, she was human. She made an impact on this world. As long as we hold her memory close to our hearts she is never truly gone.
