What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness or a longing for one more word or touch..We struggle to understand why our loved ones leave this earth so soon or why before we are ready to say Good-bye..but we remember, not that they just died; but that they LIVED and that her life gave your memories too beautiful to forget. My prayers and thoughts are with you all
