She's stunning. What a natural beauty she was. You were so very very lucky and I'm certain you were the apple of her eye. You should be comforted by the knowledge that you brought her buckets and buckets of joy and enriched her life deeply.
I'm so sorry for the loss of you Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
She is absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful woman!
So sorry for your loss sweetie. What gorgeous photos of your mom. I'm sure she's looking down on you right now. Kori xoxo
That is a great photo of your family! Sending thoughts your way!
Erin, You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I love the pics of your mom..I have some younger pics of my mom that I treasure also. It is nice to think that you have paintings of hers to cherish. My mom was a sewer and quilter and we all have special things that she made for us. I slept with a quilt that she had made for me every night for a long time after she passed away.
It is funny that you can be so connected and feel so much for people that you have never met, but that is our crazy blog world. I have enjoyed the photos of your family and watching your business grow. Now I feel we have something in common in trying to deal with the loss of our wonderful mothers.
It does get a little bit less painful as the months go on. But I do believe that losing a Mother is something you never really get over - you just learn how to live in the world in a different way.
your mom was stunning and a great artist!
i am so happy that her ceremony was so beautiful and you were able to celebrate her life.
said lots of prayers for you all week.
looks like a wonderful way to remember her. though it never get easy, the memories always help - even the ones you've just posted.
Erin,
Welcome Home...may you hold dear all the precious memories of the times shared with your mom. The pictures speak volumes...beautiful family.
She was lovely. Thinking of you.
What a lovely tribute. Mom's love photos of their loved ones. I'm sure she'd love your blog and the fact that you posted her pic.
What a beautiful mom. Her artwork is AMAZING! I am sure that she will be greatly missed; I am so sorry for your loss.
I also have 4 siblings 12 - 18 years ahead of me. I only have one brother though. Surprises are the best!
Still thinking of and praying for you.
What a beautiful tribute to your Mom, Erin. These are beautiful snapshots of her and the people she loved. May you know God's peace and comfort in new and amazing ways as you walk through this time of loss.
