OT:  Will be absent for awhile
« on: March 06, 2002, 07:05:45 PM »
Hello fellow DS friends -

My mom passed away this morning, so I'll probably be on leave-of-absence from the board for awhile.  Everyone take care!

Mothers are special. I lost my Mom eight years ago and not a day goes by that I don't miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Gerard. Take care-

So sorry, my friend.

I am also familiar with that news, from several years ago.

There are no words...

...not a day goes by without mine in my thoughts as well.

Strength.

Sorry to hear about your mother Gerard.  My own passed away more than ten years ago, but I still think about her and wish she were here to share things with.  Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Gerard,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother.  I lost my father nearly twenty years ago.  I think of him every day.  You never stop missing a lost loved one, but the passage of time does help to lessen the terrible pain one experiences after a parent's death.  

Take care,

Bob the Bartender

Gerald,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom.  Mom's are
very special.

I lost my Dad almost 6 years ago and I miss him
still. However, I find a smile on my face when I
think that Dad is now with his Mom, Dad and 6
brothers that all went before him and that they
are all looking down and watching over me.
