BItter Sweet

Early this morning my mom passed away. It was a bitter sweet moment. Sweet because I know she is no longer in pain and is singing and having a joyous reunion with her parents and many other loved ones. Bitter because the thought of not having her around makes my heart hurt. I just want to tell everyone thank you for all the prayers and concern in behalf of my family. We are eternally grateful for you and your love for us. We would not being doing as well as we are without each of you.

Kuliana, I am sooo sorry for the loss of your mom. I have been keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers and will continue. I can't even imagine what you are going through. My heart aches for you! You are right, at least she isn't suffering anymore, but it is hard to have her gone.
Your mom was an awesome lady. She was such a great example to me. If there is anything I can do for you let me know.

Kuliana. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Thank heavens families are forever.

I will always remember when your mom tailored our pom uniforms because none of them fit properly. I will always remember her as such a sweet lady.

I saw that last night (I've been checking your mom's blog every few days to see how she's doing) and my heart went out to you and your family. I'm so glad she's not in pain anymore and that she gets to reunite with so many people, but I am so sorry that you have to be without her(for a time). Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Hi Kuliana. I heard about your Mom from my sister-in-law, so I found your blog to let you know how sorry we are. I can't imagine what your poor family is going through, but from the tone in your blog you sound like you're keeping a positive attitude. We just wanted to let you know you're in our prayers. Take care.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I'm sure it's hard to even think about not having her around, but like you put so beautifuly, she is in such a better place. I hope you and your family are doing well.

That was such a good funeral! I was amazed when I looked at my phone and saw that two hours had gone by. Everyone did such a good job. I learned so much more about your mom, I already knew she was amazing, but wow. I went away with a list of things I need to do better as a mother. I'd feel good if I could be half of what she was! You all are very blessed to have had such a mother. Leora did such a great job too! And I loved all of your comments. Like I said, it was all really good, and I feel so uplifted having been there.

I hope you are all doing well. I am so sorry for your loss. She is (I hate saying was, because she still is) such an amazing person! I admire all of you and your strength as a family!
