They’re coming into town, less than a mile away, and certain winds make us hear them more. Jim’s Uncle Steve would love it.I received many comments today, mainly offering prayers and thoughts for our well-being after Mom’s death.
I had everything ready for dinner except the pot roast, that I froze and it wouldn’t unfreeze in time to eat. So we ordered pizza for dinner, as I’ve spent part of the day actually sleeping and the rest on the phone or reading/writing emails.
Excerpts from one who called my mother a “class act:” “Your Mother…shines out like a beacon of grace, beauty and intelligence in the memory of my early years at Chautauqua, and you can quote me on that.” That is from Dick Redington of Chautauqua days.
Also from Chautauqua, from Miriam Reading: “She was a lovely person in every way, and it is clear she has impacted the lives of many. I know she will be missed.”
Thanks to everyone who has called and written since Mom died yesterday. The priest called me this afternoon and we talked for 15 minutes or so. Pretty sure he’ll check out the blog! I told him that if a Catholic parish can get a website, an old lady like me can have a blog.
It is wonderful to know that so many people that may know Mom or me directly or peripherally care so much.
Take care and thanks for being there. Hopefully our pizza will be here soon, because we’re hungry! Dee
