I feel like you are all my friends and you've let me share my sweet momma with you here for a long time.. so I need to share with you about her a bit more. The last few days have been the hardest I think I have ever had to go through. My heart aches. But we take comfort knowing our sweet momma is in heaven with Dad now... and I KNOW they are dancing. (something they loved to do). We were with her the entire time.. holding her hand . she knew she was not alone and that she was SO loved.
I'm so thankful for this precious time I have had with her so close for the last few months. I know now what a GIFT that was, and I'm so blessed to have had it.
I'm so thankful for the nice lunch we had just sitting at the table chatting on Thursday, just before she had the stroke. I will cherish every minute of that..
It's been hard to come here to write this ,but I wanted you all to know, because I know you know how important she was to me.( to all of my family). She was our "rock". ... "our" family core... and she will be SO missed. I'm just going to share these photos of her and my boys with you, because they are what is giving me comfort right now. They make me smile and comfort me.

Vicki I am sitting here, having just now gotten the news about your mom,and I have a lump in my throat....we all felt like we knew her, thanks to your wonderfully written blog and inclusion of your mom in so many entries. There truly are no words adequate enough to ease your sorrow but know that many people are praying for you and hurting alongside you because we care. May God bring your entire family some comfort in the difficult days ahead. Many hugs!
I'm so sorry Vicki and my thoughts and prayers are with all your family at this very difficult time. I'm thinking of you...I know I'm far away, but if I can help in some way, please let me know. <3
Vic, I'll call when things are not so raw. You know I love you and loved Sweet Momma too.
Monday was the 14th anniversary of my mother's passing.
Hi Vicki -
I just happened upon your blog from a link on someone elses, you know how us addicts love to blog hop. Only as soon as saw your post today I knew I was suppose to stop here today.
A year ago today I lost my Momma as well, she was just shy of 100 years old but I still found it difficult to let her go and not have her in my life.
I'm so very happy you got to spend time with your Mom before her stroke, I was also just as lucky, I arrived from my flight home just hours after they had moved my Mom to Hospice, she looked at me, smiled, and said I told you I'd wait for you.
We are truly blessed to have had such wonderful women as our role models in our lives. I wish you moments of comfort in the days ahead and strength from the memories you will always carry in your heart.
Many hugs, Patti

My thoughts are with you and your family, Vicki. I know, we all know, how important your mom was to all. Heck, she was a bit of a star on this blog, wasn't she! May your parents dance like no one is watching!
Vicki, I'm so sorry to hear about your Momma. I could tell from her sweet smile that she was a kind and gentle lady. I'm praying God will comfort you and your family.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow and bring comfort and peace to you. My heart has been heavy this week with a loss in my family and I understand how difficult it is when we lose someone we love. Thank you for sharing the photos of your dear Mother and your children.

It has always been evident how close your family is. I've read about your giant Christmas and Thnaksgiving celebrations and have enjoyed seeing the pictures of your Mom with your boys and the rest of your family. You were and are a loving daughter. How lucky you all have been to have her close for so long and how blessed she was to be surrounded by such love.
Peace be in your heart as you celebrate her life.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. We all have enjoyed your sharing of her and your family. She will always be in your heart. Cherish the memories.
Vicki, I have tears in my eyes as I write this. I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I will miss hearing the stories about her. She is in a better place now and will continue to be with you. Take care.

I love your sweet mommy! Everytimes I see her face on your blog it makes me smile. I could feel of her goodness even through the computer!!:) "God be w/ you till you meet again!"
Oh Vicki...I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. My heart goes out to you and your family. It's so difficult losing a parent.
Yes, you are so blessed to have been able to spend so much time with her. And, such good times, too!
Praying for comfort and strength,
Susie
Oh, Vicki....I wish I could wrap my arms around you and give you a great big hug. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mom. My mom went "home" to be with my dad 6 years ago, and I still miss her. But I am also comforted by all the wonderful memories we shared,and I know this will be true for you, too. You are a loving, giving daughter, and I know your mom and dad are smiling down on you. Be very good to yourself...grief is hard work. Will be keeping you in my prayers...
Vicki,
I haven't been in blogland lately but noticed your title when I popped into blogland today and rushed over.
Your post brought tears to my eyes. Your mother lived a wonderful life and, based on your posts, layouts and photos, she loved well and was well-loved.
You and your family are in my thoughts.
Maureen
Having lost both of my parents and my mother-in-law, I can appreciate what you are going thru now. I, like you, had the privilege of taking care of all of them, and being with my mom and my mother-in-law when they passed. I wouldn't have had it any other way, and I know you are, and will continue to be, grateful you had that opportunity. I'm so happy that you have your many wonderful memories of your mother to cherish for the rest of your years. What a blessing that is! Hugs and prayers to you and your family. Mourn her passing, but celebrate her life! <3, Doris
Dear Vicki,
I have always enjoyed following your blog and reading about your family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Many precious memories were made in the past few months that you can treasure. May God provide you comfort in these difficult times. I'm sure your Mom is smiling down from the Heavens....
Dearest Vicki,
I'm so sorry to read of your mother's passing. I so enjoyed reading your blog with pictures and stories of your mom. She seemed like a wonderful loving mom. Cherish those wonderful moments and remember she will always be with you in your heart. Celebrate her life! Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you and your family!
I'm so sorry :(
I feel like if i know her a little because you talked a lot of her to us.
A big hug for u all

God Bless and comfort you and your family, Vicki. Your mom will be with you always...She was fortunate to have such wonderful children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and in law children!
I'm so sorry for your loss Vicki. It was nice of you to share your family moments with us. I was allways interested in how your Mom was doing. You had some great last few months with her.
Vicki - Please know that so many people are thinking of you and your family during the very sad time. My heart hurts thinking what you are going through. How wonderful that your Mom got to spend her last days on earth with you - surrounded by your love and care. Cherish the memories that you have and please know that she is in a better place and you will all meet again someday.

Vicki,
My heart aches for you. I have visited your blog for a few years now and always love your artwork.
Today when I saw the title "Mom" I knew I had to click it. I'm so sorry for your loss and will be keeping you in my prayers. Love the pictures you shared. God bless you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family honey. I hope that you can feel all the love and hugs that we friends feel for you. God bless you and your family.
I feel your loss so deeply; my own mother left the same void when she died six years ago today. The first few days (which seem like years) are the hardest but you have precious memories to sustain you and the deep sense of loving her and being loved by her. I will be thinking of you and her.
God bless Vicki, so sorry for your loss. I do know how much she meant to you, even as a 'now and again' blog follower, you have always included her in the journey.
Oh Vicki....I am so incredibly sorry...You are in my thoughts and prayers...so hard to believe..take comfort in knowing she is INDEED with your dad and will be waiting for you to share the beauty of Heaven.. love, jane
I'm so sorry for your loss vicki. My heart aches for you. I lost my dad this past July. Very unexpected but, nonetheless, I miss him every day. I know that your beautiful mother is watching over you every day. God Bless you. ♥
Sweet Vicki,
My eyes welled with tears when I saw the news about your sweet Mother! My heart and prayers are with you and your entire family! I so love reading your blog posts about your family - family is our rock in the world and I know what a very great loss this is. I will be thinking of you all and keeping you close in prayer...with love and great big hugs, Jill Norwood - Seattle, WA.
Vicki, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. We are never ready to lose one we love so dearly. I understand your loss and pain as I lost my mom very suddenly 4 yrs ago this year. Our mother (and for your children, grandmother) is like no other person in our life, they teach, shape and guide us all of our lives with unconditional love. Her spirit will be with you always, you will forever feel her love and, yes..her loss..but the wonderful memories of all you've shared are yours to treasure always. God Bless you and your family...
So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a great lady! My mom had a stroke a few days before Christmas and my FIL passed away on Christmas Eve. Mom is doing OK but has some loss of memory and her hands can't grasp as well. I know how close your whole family is with all the pics and memories you have shared. You are very blessed to have that. Blessings and prayers go out to you all.
So sorry for your loss, Vicki! She was a very beautiful lady.
Bless your heart, Vicki. I know the heartache of losing your mother & I can see that she was a beautiful person.....both inside & out. How wonderful that you were privileged to spend her last hours with her on this earth. And what a comfort to know that she's with the Lord & with your dad. I know you will cherish the memories as you go through this time of remembering her precious life.
Huggies & Prayers ~

Vicki, my mother died suddenly Jan 14. She'd been in poor health, but everyone assured us this was not her time. We are all pretty numb. Weird thing -- my dad is from Fremont, NE, he actually graduated from college in 1951, so he and your mother would not have crossed paths -- and my mother's uncle was a missionary in South Dakota.
Oh Vicki,
I am so sorry to read of the passing of your sweet Mother. I have been a subscriber to your blog for quite a while, and always relished reading and seeing your posts where your Mom was front and center. Please accept my Deepest Sympathy for your and your family's loss. Linda S. in NE
Sorry sorry for your loss. Praise God we will be together with those we love in Heaven
Dear Vicki! how did I miss this till now. I am so so sorry for your loss. My mother is indeed very special and precious to me, as I'm sure yours was. Take my love and prayers for you and your family.
