I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. As I recently said, she was always a very kind lady. I know your heart is broken, but know she had a good life and a good daughter by her side. Thinking of you and saying a prayer. May she RIP.

Gretel, I'm so sorry that you and Carlos have lost your dear mother, and I am sending you my heart in the wake of her loss. When we were at St. Vincent's she would come there on occasion and have us laughing over something that only a mother of a teenage daughter would say about a too-short uniform skirt or a class we were struggling in; she had a good-natured way about her which was passed on to you. You did well in looking after your parents in their final years and now they are reunited in God's hands. May they rest in peace.
