    I wish I could give you more eloquent words than these, Aslan, but you and your family have my deepest, most heartfelt condolences.

    Hey Aslan. I understand what those relationships can be like. My great-aunt, though she did marry, never had children and in many ways was a second mother to my mother. She also treated my brother and me like grandchildren. When she passed away, a few years ago it was a rough experience for the entire family, so I can imagine something of what you and your family are going through.

    I'd give advice to remember the good times but to be honest that is unneeded - in time you'll come remember the good times more than you feel sorrow. It's just the getting to that point that sucks.

    Peace.

    God bless...

    From what you've said about her, she was one of the good people...the world can NEVER have to many of those...

    Take care...

    Thank you for your thoughts gang.

    I am still in a state of disbelief but coming to terms with it.

    The funeral is on Friday.

    And yes she was one of the goodones.

    But I know if the Christians are right, then she is in Heaven right now playing cards with my Aunt Beatrice as well

    All my thanks and the thanks of my family.

    to paraphrase "she's really not gone as long as you remember her."



    just think of it as heaven was made better with her presense..

    me and mine wish you and yours much blessings and offer our sympathies..
    god,grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,The good fortune to run into the ones I do,And the eyesight to tell the difference..

    Having lost my mother back in 1988, I know what it feels like. Gotta give yourself time to grieve and come to term. The pain is still there but it gets a little bit easier to bear after time.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    My condolences and heartfelt sympahy to you and your mother Asian.

    I was going to quote Kirk at the end of Star Trek II but I thought that'd be cliche.
    We have all your working biros and we're not afraid to use them.

    Leave a box of used postit notes and a box of paperclips inside the filling cabinet and things won't get nasty.
