2. Much love to you, my friend.
:(

If I can do anything at all to help you, please don't hesitate to ask.

Universe, please help Lauren's mother to quickly and easily find her way to the other side where she'll be greeted by those who love her and are anxiously awaiting her return. May her journey be joy-filled, and may she enjoy the freedom that comes from no longer being in this 3D existence.

Much love and light to everyone who loves her. May you each feel the love that she is sending you right now. :hug:

3. Oh Lauren, I feel for you.
It is a blessing though that she passed peacefully and how generous of her to donate her body so that doctors in training can learn from her to treat the living. :hug:

11. I am reminded by the show I watched the other night,
"I survived death" on the Biography channel. All of the subjects said they could not wait to "get back home". I'm sure your wonderful Mother is having the time of her life right now and sending love to those who feel sadness at her passing. My thoughts are with you and I'm sending energy to you in the hopes that it helps you find some peace at this time.

I hope you and your family find comfort with one another. This is a hard thing, the loss of a parent is the end of a branch of one's life and experiences, or it was for me.

21. Lauren, so sorry to hear about your Mother's passing
You must know she is now in a new transition and on a new and exciting journey. Be happy in the news that she is no longer Earthbound and ready for the next phase of Life.

Know also that she Loved You as well as the Love you shared together.


May Love and Light be your Guide during this time of transition.

47. My condolences
and a poem for this occasion...

The Traveler
By James Dillet Freeman


She has put on invisibility.
Dear Lord, I cannot see—
But this I know, although the road
ascends
And passes from my sight,
That there will be no night;
That You will take her gently by the
hand
And lead her on
Along the road of life that never ends,
And she will find it is not death but
dawn.
I do not doubt that You are there as
here,
And You will hold her dear.

Our life did not begin with birth,
It is not of the earth;
And this that we call death, it is no
more
Than the opening and closing of a
door—
And in Your house how many rooms
must be
Beyond this one where we rest
momently.

Dear Lord, I thank You for the faith
that frees,
The love that knows it cannot lose its
own;
The love that, looking through the
shadows, sees
That You and she and I are ever one!

It's the hardest thing I feel, to lose your Mom....lost mine 8 years ago. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday she was here ....and in some ways it feels like forever. (Can't believe it but she would have been 100 on Dec 5th!!)

You know she'll always be with you though.... :hug:

50. Hugs to you Lauren
I bet she was a great lady. I'm glad you got so many years with her. She was certainly generous. Yesterday a 90-odd woman lamented to me that because of her lymphoma, she wouldn't be able to donate any of her organs. I told her that they are able to use her retinas/eye tissue so she should keep that part of her drivers license marked.

Your Mom left a great legacy.
