God Bless You and Keep You He is there for you
I can see that you had been prepared by the Lord for this transition. Its very hard but gets better with time. When I lost my mother I thought the world came to an end until I realized that her legacy will live on through me and her memories. You will do the same Keep on quilting in her memories You are a very talented lady
My prayers are with you
((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

WOW...so sorry for your loss as well. That is sooooo very hard to deal with. I too know what that is like. I lost both my parents 4 mos. apart. That was 8yrs ago and at times seems just like yesterday. I hope you are doing well. :)

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Doing something like the quilt does help. Your work is very beautiful. Have you thought of maybe donating it somewhere with a card saying in memory of your Mother. This way you can share her life. My oncology unit and my doctors office has quilts on the wall and the soothing feeling one gets with these patchwork are very welcome when one has to weather some hard times.

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I know this is a very difficult time. Even when our loved ones a re Christians and we have assurance that they are going to heaven, it is still difficult for us to loose them. I will be praying for you and her. I admire your constructive way of dealing with stress. So much more rewarding than eating. Your work is beautiful. I love the color pallet you chose.

I didn't know you just lost your Father on Dec. 14th. I just can't imagine the loss of your Father and Mother so close together. When my Mother died in April, my Father had been deceased for 28 years. Just take one day at a time, and take care of yourself. We are always here for you. Prayers and hugs to you, Teresa.
