Hi dear friends. I wanted to share with you that my dear mother in law passed away earlier today after a difficult struggle with cancer. She was one of the kindest, most genuine, least selfish persons I have ever had the privilege to know. After knowing her and sharing so much of my life with her for 29 years, my heart is aching knowing she is gone.

Please excuse me while I take a brief absence from my blog this week to mourn and grieve the loss of a truly beautiful person. Thank you for your friendship and understanding.

We little knew that day
God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn?t go alone,
for a part of us went with you
the day God called you home.

We?re left with loving memories
of the time we had with you,
and feel your love around us
in everything we do.

Our family chain is broken
and our lives are not the same,
But as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again.

My darling, I am so sad to hear this. I know how your sons and husband must feel, as well. As you said, you were blessed to have her, and it’s apparent you guys had a loving relationship. Yes, take time off for your family, they are, after all, the most important people. I wish I could hold your hand, and you know I’m sending all my love to you at this tragic time.

There is sadness when someone special passes and it is right to give time to honor your grief but what a blessing to have had in laws that cherished and supported you. A united family is cause for celebration of a life well lived.

Tina, I am so sad for you and so sorry she had to suffer. It is almost impossible to face losing someone you dearly loved. I’m sure she lived a good life; certainly she had a wonderful and appreciative family.
My sincerest condolences to your husband and boys. Try to remember the good times.
Very best,

Even though the passing of a loved one is a part of God’s life cycle, the grief is no less real, especially when such a bond is evident. It must be especially difficult for your husband.
Blessings to you all.
Donna

Tina,
How very difficult and sad. My sincerest wishes of healing and hope pour out to you today.

Your loving thoughts and profound grief illustrate the loss of a wonderful soul. May your memories spare you pain and help you to cherish the time you had together.

Just a thought from an avid Arizona reader — We have not lost a loved one when we know where they are. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” And also Psalm 119:50, “This is my comfort in my sorrow, that your promise gives me life.” My prayers are with you.

May God bless you and your family and hold you in His hands during this difficult time. Mom’s are the most precious gift and I’m happy that you had so many wonderful years together. I hope that your husband will feel some comfort and peace at this time too. Take good care and we will be here when you return.

So sorry for your loss. We’ve never met although I almost feel like I know you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers this week.

Oh Tina I am so sad for you.

Wishing you and your family peace during this difficult time. Loosing a loved one of life’s valleys .. and I know having gone through this that it just takes everything out of you. Know that although her physical presence is gone, her spirit will always be .. take care.

Tina,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family as you face the loss of this precious family member. I hope you will celebrate the wonderful place she had in each of your lives. May peace be showered over each of you as you mourn this passing.

Dear Tina, My sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I can only hope you will all find solace on the love you brought to her life.

Tina, sincere condolences to you and your family at this very sad time. You had a wonderful relationship with your mother-in-law and you have many wonderful memories of special times. May God’s peace be with you. You have a special place in the hearts of thousands of bloggers, we are thinking of you. x

So sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your family the strength to get through this difficult time. Life is like a book, with many chapters. Eventually it does end, but you will treasure each page and remember all the good stories you shared.

Deepest condolences on the passing of your loved one. It’s wonderful to hear she was loved, appreciated, and respected.

I am very sorry to read of your loss. We who have been lucky enough to have had wonderful mother in-laws seem to be in the minority. We lost my own mum in-law over thirty years ago and I will forever be grateful for her sharing of knowledge, family history and fun. I wish you and your family the absolute best.

sincerely,
Sherrie Gibson

Tina, I am lifting you and your family up in prayer. May God hold you close during this difficult time. I know that it is a huge blessing to know you will see each other again, but at the same time I know your family will miss your darling mother in law until that time comes. May the memories you share together with your family of her warm your hearts, and help the coming days and weeks be a little bit less difficult.

Tina, I have been out of town and out of touch so I did not see this until today. I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother in law. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and this difficult time. Take care of yourself Tina.

Oh, Tina, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. I am sure she was grateful that her son married a woman with grace and such a big heart. Take care of yourself and your family – we will all be here waiting when you are ready to return.
Sending hugs,
Deb xoxo

Tina will offer mass and rosaries tomorrow for the repose of the soul of your mother-in-law. It is hard to loose a member of the family. We lost our youngest son in January of 2014. Faith and the sacraments and the rosary are such a blessing at all times but especially in times of great sorrow.

With a prayerful heart,
Sylvia FAye

Tina – Thank you for sharing that comforting poem. May your faith and loving family guide all of you through this difficult time.

Juste un petit mot ch?re Tina pour me joindre ? votre peine et vous serrer fort dans mes bras. Les personnes que nous aimons resteront ? vie dans notre coeur.
Elles nous manquent physiquement, mais elles sont toujours pr?s de nous et feront ? jamais partie de notre vie.
Toutes mes pensees et mes pri?res pour vous, votre ?poux et vos enfants.
Chaleureux bisous
Sophie from Paris
