Goodbye my dear friend

Late last night the world lost a mother, grandmother, daughter and best friend.  Jessi (Cathy's daughter) called me a little after 11:00 pm on April 6, to tell me her mom had passed away.  It ended up being around the same exact time my mom had passed eleven years ago.  I haven't taken it well...and I spent last night crying.  Ok, maybe it was more like bawling my eyes out.  I also spent today doing more of the same.  I miss her and I miss my mom.
Cathy at her college graduation.  She was so happy and she looked so beautiful!

  1. I am so sorry! Great friends are hard to come by and then to have to be separated by them hurts. You are in my prayers, and her family!

  2. Sending love and hugs your way. No words can ease your pain. Just know that you are loved and I'm sending all good thoughts your way.
    I'm sure when Cathy meets your mom on the other side, there will be a joyous reunion as they revel in how amazing you are.
    <3 you so much.

  4. So sorry that you lost a great friend! I still can't believe it's been 11 years since your wonderful Mom passed away either. I know I am far away, but if you need anything at all just let me know! Love you girl and hang in there!

  6. Even though I have known this day was coming, it still doesn't seem real. I feel so lonely and vulnerable. There are huge missing pieces from my heart and today I am wondering how my heart is still beating. Maybe next week the world will look brighter but today it seems dark and dreary. Thank you to everyone for trying to cheer me up, it is much appreciated!
