A Fond Farewell...


Hello...It is a gloomy day in FunTown...This is an unusual occurrence as the sun is always shining in the sky here. But the flags are at half-mast as my best friend has left this world to be the her family and friends in another world. I cannot find the words to express my sadness. My Mother Gloria died on Saturday November third. She was not alone. My sister Jill and I were holding her hand when she left.

This is my favorite photo of me and my Mother...We were in my Grandmother's garden. I always held on tight to her hand as she guided me throughout my life. I am the luckiest girl in the world. Before the violins begin to accompany me I will say...My Mother was a wonderful Mother, GrandMother and friend to all who were fortunate to be in her life. So now she will dwell in my heart and I know that she will be holding my hand forever.

Hold on tight to the people you love...Jody

  13. My sincerest sympathies Jodi. I do not think I have ever seen a more beautiful tribute written to a mother. I think saying she was your friend is everything a mother could ever ask for, what a lucky lady.
