Oh Lynne. I'm so sorry.
We miss you - wish you were here so that we could hug you tight.
Lynne, I am so sorry to learn of the death of your Mom, now my prayers are focused on you and your family. May God give you comfort and may you know that God has her safely with Him. There will be no more pain or discomfort.
I know the death of a parent leaves such a void.
Take care of yourself.

Oh Lynne, I am so sorry for your loss. May the warmth of God's love and peace surround you and your family as you remember and celebrate her life with you. Warm hugs to you dear friend. We all love you.
I'm very sorry for your loss...my sincere sympathies.
It is good that she is not suffering and is at peace. But the loss of a mother is a big loss and I pray for you and your family at this time.
....Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted...
My thoughts are with you. Maybe, next year at Cape May, you will be greeted by a most beautiful bird, unlike any you have seen before.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Lynne. I've been through it and I know how hard it is to lose a mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am sooo sorry for your loss! Glad you are spending time with your family right now.
I'm so sorry, Lynne. I'm thinking of you and your family.
Oh, I'm so sorry! I lost my mom in 2005 and sometimes still feel like a 48 year old orphan.

May your friends and family and the blogging community help strengthen you during this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy.

Lynne - I wish to duplicate exactly what Betty (Ruthie J's mom) said. You obviously made the right decision to stay in town. It sounds like many of us bloggers have experienced the loss of our moms and we know what you are going through. May you feel the warmth of our love and loving thoughts for you and your family.
Oh Lynne, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your dear Mom. Love, Pam
I really do not know what to say Lynne. No words can take away the pain and loss from you. I just hope time heals quickly for you. I really enjoy meeting you on the LL Smith and hopefully next time we meet you have your smile back.

Oh, hon.
{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We are never ready to lose our parents.
My thoughts will be with you.
Oh Lynne, please accept my sincerest condolences. I have no words that can possibly make you feel better. I'm happy you and your brothers were able to be with her at the end. It's going to be hard, but I hope that knowing she's reunited with your dad gives you some comfort.
A big HUG to you.
Oh Lynne... there are no words for a time like this. Only that you have the thoughts and prayers of me and other kindred souls with you. Take care, friend.
Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lynne, such sadness for your loss. Please know that all who "know" you and your kind, gentle spirit wish you comfort and healing, peace and strength, patience and rest.
Your life must have made your mother very proud.
Lynn,
All of us here at Cape May were so sorry to hear about your Mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lynne,
We love you and we are with you in spirit.
Take care of yourself during all this.
Thinking of you.
Lynne, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. This morning, we were watching the ocean: rhythmic, relentless and beautiful, and I thought of you and your mom and how she'll go on inside you. Take care, my friend.You are still loved.
Lynne,
you made the right choice. I am so sorry this happened and know that all of us at the Stiteler household have you and your family in our thoughts.
Huge hugs your way via internet--the real thing to come soon...
Lynne, can you feel the hugs coming your way? {{hugs}}
My condolences on your loss.
There are no words that can rightly express sympathy just now. I join in sending hugs.
Peace be with her. You loved her so...
God Bless her...she was blessed to be surrounded by you and a wonderful family, Lynne.
Love,
Mary
There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They speak more eloquently
than 10,000 tongues.
They are the messengers
of overwhelming grief,
of deep contrition,
and of unspeakable love.
- Washington Irving
You are in our thoughts.
I am so sorry, Lynne for your great loss. Love and prayers to you and your family.
Prayers for comfort and peace. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh Lynne--I just read your update, commented and then saw the At Peace entry.
First, so sorry for you & your family. How well I know the feelings & the emotions you are going through.
But you made the right choice--you stayed at her side, a time that can never be replaced.
Thinking of you in the days, weeks and months ahead.
Lynne,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. You are in my thoughts today and in the days and weeks to come. Take care.

Dear Lynne,
May you know that your mother now abides in God's peace, and may that peace come to you and your family.
Losing a parent is so hard and leaves such a hole. I know. And I am so sorry you are experiencing that loss now. Sigh...
Trixie
Dear Lynne,
My heart breaks for you and your family. May the love of your husband and children and your brothers - help carry through the next days, weeks and months.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours as you grieve the loss of your brave, little mother.
The happy conversation you had with your mom is a blessing. It is the bright note in this time of pain.
I know you brought enormous happiness into your mother's life. I hope that sustains you, now.
Love,
Cathy
Bless you Lynn, you have my deepest sympathy. Jayne's Mom
Lynne, my sympathies from here... I see you so often over at Jayne and haven't made the trip to you till now... thoughts and prayers, Katie

Your mom got to see and enjoy your kids--that is a great, great blessing. My dad died at 81 still wondering if I'd ever cave in and have any...a great regret of mine. Know that you made her so happy. It's OK to fold in on yourself for a good long time. We'll be here when you're ready to come back.
Love,
JZ
As I ponder what to offer to you, I glance over to the picture of my mom who passed away in 1995. I still long for her, but she's never far.
"Her presence influenced who you are. Her absence will influence who you will be."
Lynne,
You have my deepest sympathy. Take time to grieve...then take some more. God is taking care of your mom now...let Him.
Cindy
Oh Lynn, I know how hard it is to lose a Mom! You and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending hugs your way!
I'm checking back to let you know I pray you know how much people care about what you are going through. I think of my late mom often and now I can smile, though we will always miss them.
Blessings to you and your family.
I am lighting a candle and sending love.
Your Mother knows what a wonderful daughter you are.
Love,
Sherry
