For those of you who were following my Mom story...

[salsabike]

I just wanted to let you all know, especially the TD Support Group, that my mom died very quietly today, in her cardiologist's office. Her heart just stopped. We will miss her a lot. I wanted to thank you for all the Mom support you guys gave me over the last year. Much appreciated.

She was a retired speech pathologist and a great adventurer. Her last trip was an opera club trip to Russia. She was a major life lover. She took the last year of constant illness with an incredibly tolerant, pleasant, positive spirit. She was smart. Interested in everything. Funny. We were just about to move her out here to Seattle next week. We would have had fun.

Oh, SB, I am so sorry for your loss.

[sbctwin]

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Before my mom died, I had tried to move her to a place close to us. It would have been great fun to have her nearby. I will keep you in my prayers...

[rocknrollgirl]

I am so sorry. I am walking in your shoes this week. My Mom passed away on Wed night. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Salsa, my deepest condolences go out to you and your family right now. I'm so very saddened to hear about your mom- I gather she was quite the incredible woman from all the wonderful things you told us about her.
My prayers and thoughts are with you...

[SouthernBelle]

Salsa, I remember well those feelings. My deep sympathies are with you.

Sorry to hear of your loss Salsa. It is wonderful to know that you and Ruth had such wonderful, adventurous mom's in your life and I'm sure they are both in a better place so very proud of their amazing daughters!

You're in my prayers...

I'm so sorry. She sounds like an amazing woman, and I know how much effort and thought you've been putting into her care and moving her here in the last year or so. I'm thinking of you.

[mimitabby]

{{{{{Salsa}}}}}, i am so sorry to hear of your loss. If you want to talk about it, or about anything, feel free to call or write me.

[massbikebabe]

Please accept my most sincere condolonces. My daddy passed away in April of 2006. Sometimes when I am alone and the house is quiet I can feel him near me or hear his voice and this is somehow comforting. I hope you have the same.

[SalsaMTB]

Salsa - I'm so sorry about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[spokewench]

So sorry Salsa. It is really good that you had such a great relationship with your mom and could look up to her as a model of how things should be. What a wonderful gift she gave you

[Wahine]

How strange, 2 spunky Mom's gone so close together.

Salsa, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and meditations. Take care of yourself, remember the good times and love each other, heal. Hugs.

[salsabike]

A year ago, I would have rudely snickered if someone had said you could make genuine, good friends online. Note I ain't laughing about that now. I have developed some real friendships on this forum. You guys are quite a fine bunch, and I appreciate it more than I can say. I've copied many of your posts and emailed them to my sister. They will make her cry, in the good way.

Rocknrollgirl, I am so sorry. I didn't know. You have my total sympathy and well-wishing, as do all the rest of you who have lost parents or others you've loved. There's no easy way. But I'm glad we've gotten to love them.

My mother would be waving her hand at us and saying, "Go, girls--go have some fun now!"

((((((((Salsa)))))))))

I am so terribly sorry. :( I do not have the proper words to convey my feelings. Please know that I shall be keeping your family in my prayers.

[short cut sally]

My condolences to you Salsa, you are in my thoughts. Also to RockNRollgirl for her loss also. Both of you ladies take care and best wishes to you and your families.

[emily_in_nc]

Salsa,

I am so sorry to hear this news. There have been too many parents lost recently. My two best friends at work each lost a parent (one to pancreatic cancer, one to heart attack) in the past three weeks, and then I come on here and read about your mom and RnRGirl's mom as well. So very sad. :(

Wishing you peace and strength in this difficult time.

Emily

[dellafalls]

Your mom sounds like she lived a wonderful life, making the world a better place. Thinking of you and your fam. on this sad day.

[margo49]

Salsa, I was out at the Bee-eaters nesting colony this morning and thought of you all the way and stopped for a few minutes where they were all whistling in the early morning and said a (very tiny) prayer.

[Lise]

Dear Salsa,

I'm sad for you and your family to hear that your mom is gone. May you feel how big her spirit is every day--I believe that's never gone. She's free of the restrictions of her body, and always with you. I'm so glad you two had all those wonderful years together.

(((D)))

love, Lise

[mtkitchn]

Salsa, so sorry about your mom.

[cosc]

I'm sorry you lost your Mom. I'm sure you know much of what you are today was a gift from your Mom. Take care and may the love and good memories of your Mom sustain you.
