Teri I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad almost 2 years ago and I think of him everyday, but with a happy heart knowing he is happy and well now, looking over all of us (and pointing out my quilting errors).
We had a celebration of his life gathering and it was the best of times for all of us to truly enjoy all the ways he enriched our lives. I hope you and your family can also find the smiles in your hearts at her memories that will give you the strength you'll need the next few weeks.
You will be in my thoughts.
