What a beautiful picture of your mom!! Daniele was always a very caring person. I know that she helped to make Caroline's life more liveable for many years. I hope that when you need to, you think of all the good times you had and remember that there is no more pain for her.
Dear Chris, I am unfortunately heading out of town shortly to my god mother's 80th birthday celebration in Edmonton and won't be able to attend your mother's funeral today. I am so sorry for all that has happened of late. It sounds like your mother was a wonderful and very giving person. We all have a finite time, but having a family member or close one leave is never something you can be prepared for. Life is so precious, I know it's a cliche, but it really is. I am glad to hear she was at peace with things before her passing. I know this day must be a very difficult one. My thoughts are with you and your family, and if there is anything I can do I hope you know you can ask. I will be making a donation in your mother's name of the Canadian Cancer Society. Take Care. Sincerely, Robin
