< remembering Mom. >
We awoke this morning with both gladness that Mom is no longer suffering and sadness of the reality that she is gone. I wanted to post a quick note on Caring Bridge this morning, just to share with you guys two blog posts and the details about the two memorial services for Mom.
You can find an amazing post that my sister-in-law Erin wrote on her blog (http://embracingmycup.blogspot.com/). You can find the post I wrote this morning called “remembering Mom” on my blog (http://jasoncdukes.wordpress.com/). Please leave comments there or on the guestbook here of your memories of Mom, if you can. We’d really appreciate getting to read them.
There will be two memorial services for Mom, as you may have read on an earlier post. Here are the details:
