    My heart goes out to you and now know you have another Angel looking after you. She is a beautiful lady, your mother, and I see the date is exactly one month past what would have been my own mother’s birthday. She put up a valiant fight and from what you have told me she lived life on her terms. Someone to admire to be certain. I hold you and your family in my heart and know my mom has the best of company now. Do take care.

  5. Becca,
    My sympathies to you and your family. I remember you saying on your mothers last birthday that she had been proving her doctors wrong. She must have been a strong lady. She had to have been a wonderful woman to have created a wonderful woman like you. May she be at peace and painting with the angels precious images of her new place of peace.
    Blessings … Isadora 🙏

  17. Becca,
    Sending you my love. I shall add your beautiful Mom to the special Baha’i prayer for the departed I say every day. My Mom passed on a December 12th so it shall be easy to remember you and your Mom.

      It has been a few weeks of synchronicity. She passed at 10:11 on 12-13-14. I had hoped it wouldn’t be during a holiday time, but accepted the inevitability of it. Someone shared she would have Christmas in Heaven. It’s a tender way of viewing it. I’m sorry for the loss of your mom as well … no matter how long it has been. Thank you for your message.
