I am very sorry for your loss, Shirley. Deepest sympathy to all who will miss her. I know she is celebrating being reunited with your father and with God. I lost my own mother a year ago to Alzheimers and I understand it has been a long goodbye for you. She is renewed and at peace. Share the memories to mend your broken hearts.
Lots of prayers for peace for the whole family. How amazing they were reunited for their Anniversary!
You mom will be missed. She was a wonderful person who clearly loved her family, sewing and her birds. She would beam when showing her latest sewing or quilting project, especially when it was something she made for Courtney or Chloe! She was an artist with her sewing and could fix anything. I would bring her literally a bag of clothes to hem, repair, etc. and she would have it all done within days and then charge only $20. I would always give her at least double for her work! I also enjoyed watching her interact with her birds. She really enjoyed being with them and letting them fly about the house. She will be missed but so many good memories. She will be back with your dad.
