If you've visited Deborah at Pictures, Pots & Pens you will remember that we discovered each other via our blogs a couple of months ago. We live in the same city so have managed to go thrifting and have lunch together.
Deborah's post on Thursday was very sad as it announced the passing of her sweet Mother.
This afternoon my husband and I attended the memorial service for this lady whom we unfortunately had never met. She was apparently a pillar of strength in her congregation....................the words said were generous and kind, comments from people we conversed with enlightened us. This was one sweet and feisty lady who will be long remembered.
I understand how Deborah is feeling having lost my own dear Mother a few years ago. I traveled 'across the pond' and reached her side just hours before she passed away.
You may wish to leave a few words of condolence on Deborah's blog. I know she will appreciate you thinking of her at this difficult time ~ she is a very sweet person.

Mary, Heidi just pulled up a website that showed an ornament that was made out of all white buttons. It is too funny that you now show all white buttons on your site today.
ReplyDeleteYes Mary, it was to make button icicles. They were adorable!
ReplyDeleteI am very lucky to have my mother who is also my friend. I hope it will be for very very very many years yet. I cannot imagine having to face this moment as it was hard enough when it was my first parent to pass ~ my father. I am grateful that my mother is still here and still guiding me through life even if it is sometimes just being silly and laughing with me. I just love her. Mothers are special!
Hugs ~
Heidi
How very sad.
ReplyDeleteShe is lucky to have a nice friend like you though.
Love the photos on your post.

Mary, you are a very good friend to her. Having recently lost my mother (October), I, too feel some of her pain. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to leave her a message.
ReplyDeleteMary - I don't know what to say. I was at a loss for words when I saw you and Bob at Mother's service on Saturday. You touched my heart then and you have done so now. Thank you.
