The loss of a mother is like no other. It's like having to redefine who we are. But God in us is our KEEPER. It's a slow process to heal but you will. Love you Little Sis. Hope to see you soon.

To Shelly and Warren, I cannot find the words to express my sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother. I found this "anonymous" poem someone sent after Don's death that I want to share with you. "Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there; I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am a diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush; I am swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there; I do not sleep." I pray that the memories you have of your mother will bring you comfort during these time. I love you all. Your Cousin, Mary Maynard
