Dear Mom


My dear mom passed away this morning.
You will be deeply missed. Love you.

She was a talented quilter, and I will always remember sitting together with her working on our quilts. I am so greatful for all the good memories.

Saying for today:
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal.
~From a headstone in Ireland

Kjære May Britt, kondolerer så mye. Så trist å høre. Du må ta de gode minnene med deg videre i livet, og jeg regner med dere to hadde mange fine stunder sammen både med og uten nål og tråd. Sender deg mange varme klemmer, tenker på deg.

Hey May Britt! So sad to hear that you lost your lovely Mum. But I love the little quote you finished with and am sure that your memories of wonderful times with her will be a comfort now and in the years to come. It's especially lovely, I think, that you had quilting in common, because now whenever you're quilting, you'll feel her sitting beside you. Love and prayers winging your way during this sad time. Bear Hugs! KRIS

Leanne said...

My thought are with you Hugs from Australia.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
