I'm really sorry to hear that she passed Dorothy. By the way it sounds your going to be keeping her memory alive for family who didn't have a chance to get to know her - I'm sure that makes her smile : DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399195341166290860.post-42614406986692185932011-04-15T19:06:00.393-05:002011-04-15T19:06:00.393-05:00Thank you all so much for your kindness!

I too think this way in a month it will be 2 years since my Mom passed away I think she is out of her cancer pain and enjoying gardening with God.<br />Loved your blog Sincerely Rachel♥<br />http://www.ourcreativehands.com<br />http://ourcreativehands.blogspot.comRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887378296798486502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399195341166290860.post-34616018371789648612011-04-15T13:09:43.944-05:002011-04-15T13:09:43.944-05:00I am sorry for your loss but the memories will liv...I am sorry for your loss but the memories will live on. You are lucky to be surrounded by family. Here is a poem I found when my grandmother died.<br />“You can shed tears that she is gone, <br />or you can smile because she has lived.<br />You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,<br />or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.<br />Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,<br />or you can be full of the love you shared.<br />You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, <br />or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.<br />You can remember her only that she is gone,<br />or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.<br />You can cry and close your mind, <br />be empty and turn your back.<br />Or you can do what she'd want:<br />smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”<br /><br /> David Harkins quotesGlynishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943796079485108787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399195341166290860.post-76431673606971592652011-04-15T11:45:48.609-05:002011-04-15T11:45:48.609-05:00Sorry about your sweet grandma.

When I lost my...Aw, I'm so sorry for your loss. When I lost my grandfather a few years back I was devastated. I had the same thoughts as you. I felt sad that my kids wouldn't get to do the same things with him that I did, or have the same memories that we shared. He never met my husband or my two youngest and I still think about this almost every day. It breaks my heart.<br /><br />I'm thinking of you and your family during this awful time. And yesterday must have been a sad day overall, I lost my cousin to lung cancer.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034271381748240025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399195341166290860.post-52164242562629650552011-04-14T23:38:34.615-05:002011-04-14T23:38:34.615-05:00Great story about your Grandma sweet girl. :)Great story about your Grandma sweet girl. :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02111988815616565452noreply@blogger.com
