My Mom passed away very peacefully in the early morning hours of May 6 after a long and hard-fought battle with dementia. This loss is especially difficult for me and my sisters because it comes so soon after losing our Dad but it is actually a blessing because she is now free from the disease that destroyed her mind.
Last night we held a visitation for family and friends and it was such a lovely evening. My Mom's wish was to be cremated and we were able to find the perfect mother of pearl urn for her. The flower arrangement we picked out for the display was also really beautiful.
It was nice to see so many family and friends pay tribute to my Mom and support me and my sisters (once again I wish I had taken more pictures). The consensus was that my Mom was a gentle soul who touched the lives of everyone with whom she came in contact and these kind words were such a comfort to us!
