Marlane, I know that in some ways the hard work has just begun because missing them alone is exhausting. We lost my father in Sept. and I just now feel like I'm coming up for air. So, I'll keep you in mind and heart. Love, Kay Car;enter

Marlane, May Gods Hands of mercy cover you with peace. May you be richly blessed for your devoted care of your mom through the years. I stand beside you knowing fully the blessings and the heartache of a long term care giver. My beloved mom passed into heaven in April 2016 having lived with us for 17 years. I pray for you a time of reflection, renewal that I am sure will be as a much needed balm, and rejoicing that Heaven awaits. Let's get together again. God Bless You. Sherry

Marlane, I am so sorry to hear that your Mom passed away. Trite as it sounds, we know for certain that she is in a better place now. Richard and I pray for energy, strength and peace for you, as we know this has been such an extremely difficult time. Know that it will take time - sometimes a long time - for you to feel “normal†again. I know it’s been a very long journey already. Hang in there and please know you have many cheerleaders in your corner. Keeping you in our Hearts, may our thoughts and prayers sustain you. With Love, Jan
