Funerals aren't a good substitute.

Our timing was good. Mom passed away early in the morning of the 8th. She no longer has to suffer. May she rest in peace along side my father.

In my cup... memories.

I am close to you, dear friend. You did the right thing at the right time. It must have been a great gift for her to be with you and say goodbye. Much love.
