((((((((Kelli))))))))))) I pray that God gives you peace today…the kind of peace that passes all understanding. I pray that he gives you strength as you tell your boys, and as you go about making the arrangements. I also pray that He brings to your recollection all of the wonderful memories that you have of your mom. At first I was gonna say from before she was sick…but, I can’t say that, because one of the most precious memories I have of my grandmother, who died from pancreatic cancer, was of lying in the bed with her letting her know she was loved. Kelli, that has been 9 years ago and I still find myself crying when I think about it! May you feel God’s presence like you have never felt it before! ---

My condolences, kelli. I know from your previous post that she was in a lot of suffering, and at least now she and you are both beyond that. ---

**kellibelli** , I am so sorry for your loss. I have not experienced what you are going through so my words may not be of any comfort. I like to think that after our loved ones pass on they are still around us… watching over us. Your mother will, in a way, live on forever… because you are a part of her. Your children are a part of her. She has gained immortality because she gave you life and you gave your children life. Hold on to the good memories. You, your children, and all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. ---

{{{kelli and her family}}} I’m very sorry for your loss. And I must echo **Pessor** - the next few days will go by in a blur, and it is important that you take some time out for yourself. You won’t feel like it, but force yourself to eat at least a little something. Rest when you can. And know that it’s okay to lean on those you love… they’re there for you just as much as you’re there for them. ---
