Thank you so much for all your kind words.😭 You are a comfort to me and my family and I'm so grateful for people like you in this life. I'm so pleased our paths have crossed, even on something as simple as a KZfaq channel.

My mom died end of august… I’m not trying to make my situation sound more difficult then yours…just sharing that I took care of my very intelligent mom for 5 years. Every day, through weather and pandemic then moved her to adult home, I became obsessed with her care driving from work to her ‘home’ to bring food and share my boring life….’ How are the dogs? The gym? Are you still mowing? Heard from the kids?’ Then we chat and watch match match game 1979 and talk about Betty whites beautiful hair and my mom wondered if she needed care? My mom was 98 The matriarch of our family, Never missed a grandchild’s event, a financial wizard so very beautiful. But she had fallen and her body was very weak. I just couldn’t lift her and tend to her. I think I missed five days in five years of being there with her. Taking care of her house and bills, cooking and laundry. I’m the only one left of my family, and my mom tended to all of our relatives so I needed to do the same thing for her. She was usually the only phone call I got in my life and that time is blank now. What I think about the most is the last… What was the last conversation before she couldn’t talk, the last nail color I put on your beautiful nails, the last phone call. Therefore I feel for you and wish I could help. And since I have no one in my family I appreciate you letting me talk and tell my love story and grief here. I wish you strength and peace and contentment for what you shared with her until the end. I know she loved every moment…. Blessings❤️❤️❤️

You are so well spoken, and you probably don’t even realize how much you’re helping others by just being genuine & sharing your insights on grief, family, creativity, life, everything… God bless you. You have so many people thinking of you & praying for you! ❤

I too am so lucky to have that guy in my life. He also loves seasonal decorations. He handles the outside, I have the inside. 49 years of marriage and it’s always been this way. ❤

Oh honey I’m so sorry, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family 🙏🏻❤️ my husband is ill and at this point it’s just waiting.

So very sorry for your loss. Prayers and blessings to you.

This is so amazing, I can hardly believe it… I was about to start putting together some photos for our daughter’s memorial service, but I decided to watch a video before heading into such a heavy task. How incredible that I chose this video. I feel like God led me straight to it. Thank you for another beautiful video. Love and blessings to you and your family as you grieve.❤

Deepest condolences. God Bless you and your family

Sarah, you are such a joy even in the midst of your grief, your joy for the simple treasures in life is so inspiring. I know your mother is smiling at the beautiful person you have become ❤

I’m am so thankful you were able to know your mom. I loved the fact that she watched you on KZfaq! That is the sweetest.

Oh my dearest- I’m a veteran hospice nurse. My most revered advice then & still is to place a bowl, a basket or box of mixed pictures for random moments of reflection. So heart helpful. Also, you know dementia grief is a it different in that it starts several years earlier. Praying for your comfort. Elizabeth

Bless you in this time. I just lost my mother in July to dementia. I had been her 24/7 caregiver for 15 years. Take care of yourself!

My heart breaks for you since I lost my Mom in April, she also had dementia. Not an easy thing on the family but we do what we have to do for our family. Thank you for letting us into your space and teaching us so much about decorating our homes.

My heart goes out to you. So sorry for your loss. I do love how you honor her and remember you are a reflection of her so she is honored everyday! Wishing you and yours peace

I am so sorry for your loss. 😔❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

I love the idea of surrounding the memorial with things that are "her". I did that when my daughter died. I also made the video happy and fun with songs she and I loved. In the midst of such a heart breaking situation, I found peace and comfort in doing that. It was a day to celebrate her. I pray you find that in creating your mom's special moment. Prayers for you and your family. Thankful for heaven.

Praying for you to have continued strength as you prepare for your Mom's funeral. Love her wedding dress. I'm so sorry for your loss. I also have a supportive husband and 24 year old son who look forward to each holiday to see what I come up with. I tweak and evolve my decor each year

So very sorry for your loss - dementia & Alzheimers are horrible diseases - when my boyfriend’s mom finally passed from Alzheimer’s, I think he actually felt as though he had lost her long before - I think he grieved the most when she didn’t know anymore who he was - not that he didn’t grieve when she died, but a long illness like that gives you a long time to prepare your heart for their passing - Blessings & prayers to you from Central Florida 🙏

I love the way you are celebrating your mom's life. She would be so proud of you. I lost my mom 12 years ago so I understand the waves of grief. They still come for me at the most unexpected times. May God comfort you and give you His peace.

My mother passed away two weeks ago after a long battle with dementia. Planning for the funeral now. Also feel I’m getting a glimpse of someone I never got to know, my young mom. Through photos and yearbooks I see such a joyful, confident, beautiful young woman. Thank you for sharing.❤

Sorry for the loss of your mother. You brought tears to my eyes how you're going to honor her, in such a beautiful way. May she rest in peace. Thank you for sharing your little treasures. Looking forward to your next video. 🤗

We lost my Daddy in January, obviously very hard, but my mom and siblings and I have beautiful memories of making an incredible floral arrangement for his casket. My mom made a Stewart family tartan runner that draped over the sides of the casket and on top of that we placed this giant floral centerpiece with moss and twigs and the sweetest smelling white lilies. It was so manly and sweet and poetic all at the same time and my Dad would have LOVED it. We brought it back to my moms house that night, and placed it on the coffee table and all gathered round singing his favorite songs as my sister and cousins played guitar. I’ll never forget how sweet the house smelled because of those lilies, but the sweetest part is knowing I will see my Daddy again because he trusted in Jesus’ sacrifice for his sins. ❤️

Sarah you found some real treasures at the Flea Market in Boston. It was really fun watching you unwrap each one. I loved the President figurines. I wouldn't wait for grandkids with those, I'd put them out for the 4th of July. Americana anything is always beautiful to see, you live in an amazing country. My condolences on the loss of your mother, I can't imagine how difficult emotionally the last ten years have been. Hugs to you.

So sorry about your loss..😪 Dementia is very difficult to deal with. It seems that you lose them twice. My thoughts are with you.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers Sarah. Thank you.

I am sorry to hear of the lose of your mother. I understand your pain. I enjoyed this video so much… especially your unwrapping your treasures! To see you relive the joy of your finds, was delightful ❣️ Hugs 😘 - Jill

I have been praying that the God of all comfort will give you peace and joy as you pass through this valley of sorrow and loss. So thankful that the process of creating beauty has been healing for you in this season - it always amazes me how that happens during times of trial.

I agree with you that September flew by, we also had a loss, my Mamaw, my mom’s mom, passed on September 11th. Also agree about grief not being linear but there will be times when it isn’t as heavy and we can rejoice that she’s no longer suffering, it’s just our loss of our loved one and the days gone by that you wish you could go back to with them.. This video came at the perfect time, thank you

I’ve been in the shoes of the child taking care of a parent. My dad died, December will be three years ago from the early onset of Alzheimer’s. He would’ve been 64 this month. Please know that you and your family will be in my prayers and also our church’s prayers. ❤

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in May and the grief is such an interesting and precious journey. May her memory be a blessing.

Big hugs to you and prayers for comfort, peace and the energy needed ro complete everything. My precious Mother in Love had dementia for about 7 years, with the last 2 years slowly getting worse. It is never easy to lose someone to that disease. You watch them slowly fade and by the time they pass you have this mixed up wretched mess of relief and agony and grief. She passed in 2020 and I still have waves of grief.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my mother in law this past Friday. I too have been busy creating a memory table for a memorial service this Saturday. It is therapeutic. I too feel it is the last thing I can do to honor her memory. I have used large cloches with photos on stands. Tarnished silver candle holders/small vases and placed photos on dowels with small clothes pins,. She was a collector of precious moments figurines, vintage powder dishes, industrial thread spools and glass rolling pins. I carefully picked the ones with the colors for my theme. All will be placed on a crocheted table cloth. A work of LOVE!

How can you have me laughing and crying all in one short video? I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom passing. I don’t know that I will ever be ok when that time comes for me, but I do know that because of Jesus, you can, and I will, make it through this tough part of life! I am so glad you have such good memories to enjoy. Much love to you and your family. I snickered in a most unladylike way when you sniffed the old Navy uniform! 🤣 I have a guy that appreciates, not to be confused with notices, the cozy changes I make around our home as well. I think he most appreciates the fact that I usually find my treasures second hand and so it generally costs less. ;-) Thank you for sharing your heart with us.

The book make way for ducklings my daughter bought in memory of my father in law for our granddaughter. We found out my father in law passed away and my daughter was pregnant with our first grandchild the same day. Very sweet book! Good bless, John 3:16❤️🙏

O Sarah, I am so sorry for your loss! Prayers!

So sorry to hear about the loss of your precious mother. I love what you said about laughing doesn’t mean you’re not grieving, it just means you’re coming up for air. So many need to hear that message. I think sometimes when we lose someone so close we feel guilty for laughing and finding joy during our grief, but coming up for air is a perfect description of what we need to do in the midst of grief.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 4 years ago and I still haven't gotten completely over it.

Prayers over everyone watching, reading, listening, or commenting. Lost my mom and now dad has dementia. I know your pain. I grieve for and with you all. Know that we'll all be dancing together again reunited in heaven! Until then love your enemy and serve your neighbor. Thank you for sharing such a profound loss with us all. May you find comfort in your memories. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

God bless - I just went through a 10 year dementia journey and passing of my mom early in 2022- I think the grief journey was long and some pre - grieving happened to make her passing a bit of a relief - not easy though. May God comfort all of you

I’m so happy you have journals and things to look on during this time. I am sure you will honor her memory beautifully. I am so sorry and will keep you and your Family in my prayers. ~Janet 😘

You are such a beautiful soul, and what a wonderful daughter. XO. My father passed away almost 3 years ago and I still have waves of grief. I will continue to lift you up in prayer.

Sorry for your loss Sarah. Humour is definitely a healer, but it takes time.

Thank you so much for sharing and you're on point with other people may be experiencing the same. I lost my Mother a year ago and my son this past August. Coming up for air and laughter almost felt like guilt. So true, in many cases the heaviness at times can be unbearable but I found God guides me and I find his grace and love is so comforting. Apologies for the long message felt this was a good place to share. Take care ALL.

Oh, Sarah, I am so sorry for your loss and have included you and your family in my prayers. There is a special feeling that comes from being with a loved one as they pass; and the planning of a memorial. And yes, the tears come and go, and at some of the most unexpected times. But I truly believe the tears wash our soul and give us a pause to remember and grieve. I too find doing crafts is a wonderful therapy, as does working with my plants. Lastly, the piece you bought with the pulled threads; my mother-in-law actually did that type of work. It is very tedious, but so beautiful, as well. Bless you my friend. Celebrate your mother and all the fun memories you have of her life.

Our Mom’s are so precious. Mine passed two years ago, I miss her every day. You are right, grief can come in waves, changing from happy memories to a bucket of tears. You are in my thoughts❤️

Awesome finds. My heart aches for you on the loss of your mother. Losing your mom is so hard. Bless you

My heart is breaking for you- and what a beautiful funeral you are planning for your mother- her wedding dress is precious! It sounds like she was so proud of you. You and your mother are in my daily prayers. God bless! ❤Oh, and I loved your show and tell- you got great finds at Brimfield!

Sarah, so sorry for your loss. Dementia/Alzheimer's is such a devastating disease. I too lost my mom to this mind altering condition. She lasted only 9 months from the diagnosis. I love the idea of taking her beloved items to display and tell her life's story. You are blessed to be able to do this. These are treasured heirlooms and hopefully her grandchildren will also show great interest in them . Even though it was hard, thanks for sharing your tragedy with us today. Loved your haul, especially the tatting on the linen. TFS

I remember the loss of my mother and my heart just squeezes in sorrow for you. Wishing you peace and comfort in your good memories of your mother.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost my mom two years ago and she too had dementia. It is a sad disease. The loss of your mom definitely leaves a huge hole in your heart. I so enjoy watching your channel.

Sarah, I LOVE watching your videos. Your bedroom looks amazing and your vintage finds are always so special. On a personal note, my sincerest condolences over the passing of your Mother. I lost my Mom to Alzheimer's the year I turned 40. It was a devastating disease (she was diagnosed at 68), so I certainly know the struggle, the loss and the sadness. But what an amazing gathering you are planning to honor her, no doubt. I worked for many years helping caregivers and families through the struggle of supporting someone through dementia. Very rewarding. Anyway, God bless you and your family.

So very sorry for the loss of your mother. It isn’t easy losing a parent. You are doing an amazing job. Hang in there and cherish all your sweet memories. 😊❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sarah, I am also grateful I found you, your genuine ability to see beauty everywhere is so refreshing in the world we currently live in ! beautiful move to honor your mother and to wish to know her better. I feel the pain through your positive attitude, and how much I understand. Sending love, and thank you for being you. "Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old" Franz Kafka

So sorry for your loss. Thank God He gives us such wonderful Mom’s to love us. I will be praying you will remember all the hugs and fun times. God bless you and your family.

It's not easy to loose your mom, your preparations are helping with the grieving process, and the feeling of loss will lessen with time. May you find peace and comfort with your family and friends.

So sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one after a long illness is a special kind of loss. I was relieved when my mom passed after battling cancer but then felt guilty that I felt relieved. Do whatever you need to do to grieve your loss.

Sarah, I’m sorry for the loss of your sweet Mom. I think it’s wonderful that you have time to really plan & think about her funeral. I lost my Mom four years ago this month, I would’ve loved more time to really remember her. God bless you & your family.

So sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost my mom 7 years ago. Sending hugs. Your treasures are all so lovely. I hope you show us how you styled them.

So sorry for your loss, my Mom passed from dementia as well. It's hard but you will get thru this, one day at a time. Love all your finds especially the Dundee Crock, I have been looking for one (at a reasonable price) for a while now. Thanks for sharing.

So sorry to learn about the loss of your mother. You are making a beautiful tribute to her. Praying for you and your family.❤

I missed my mum who also died on dementia,after 8 years. My mother in law died in September 2020 my father in law in november the same year both on covid. My broken heart goes out to you,sending you blessings and much Power. Grief for me is coming in waves. Some days is overwhelming.

I have just entered a season with my own Mom, age 93 and counting, with obvious dementia going on now. Your personal experience touched my heart in sad & happy ways. So grateful the Lord gave me a gift for DIY,, estate saling like ypu share on your beautiful channel. My joy and comfort is knowing that we are not of this world just as you know too. Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Bless you!

I’m so sorry for your loss. What a special way to honour her memory with her favourite things. I really resonated with the way you explained feeling closer to loved ones through the process of planning the memorial x

So sorry for the loss of your mother. I truly love what you are doing to honor her,so sweet

Oh Sarah I’m so sorry for your loss. But even in this most sad time you take time to inspire others through you decor and your wisdom. Your Mum gave this world an exceptional gift : you xxxxxx Take care sending lots of love and a warm hug from the Uk 🇬🇧 xxxxxx

So sorry about the passing of your mother, what a wonderful daughter you are to honor her in such a special way. Great finds while in Boston, I love how you were thinking ahead with so many of your purchases future grand children,4th of July etc. always enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing.❤️

Deepest sympathy. I lost my mum a year ago the 5th September it's hard. Take time, it will be the silly things that brings back the memories. But the crying will turn into gentle smiles. ❤️

As always, you remain in my thoughts and prayers and have my deepest sympathies and condolences on your darling Mama's passing. I've also sent you a letter. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the finds you got at Brimfield. Janet is a rock star on the Watson jar and the coral. I must admit that I geeked out when I saw the water company lid in the video. I'm SO glad you took it home with you. But you got so many lovely things I'm not sure I can pick a true favorite. You did very well and I'm so glad you, and the other girls had such a good time, in spite of the rain. Laurie M (BTS)

When my now adult twins were little guys, they would be rewarded with trips to the local quilt shop to test the fabric. They would have to hold the fabric a very specific way and “co-co” it to find out if it was a good fabric. I’d still consider the both of them fabric snobs because they appreciate a good linen. May your moms memory be a blessing ❤

Oh my dear, holding you up in prayer. Thankful for your sweetness in sharing your journey as you remember your mom. Her wedding dress is so pretty! The time traveling and spent with yiur mom will be a blessing in your memories, from our experience. Fun to see your finds. I just went through books, and made a basket of Fall reads for my grandchildren 😊. When we moved to the midwest, my son asked why it felt familiar as we drove through farmland in the Fall. Books! Those award winners are always great.

Sarah, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother! It is hard to ever be prepared for the end. Thank you for sharing your story with us! Our condolences are a small thing, compared to how much you give to us through your blog and You tube channel! I loved your Brimfield treasures! Such treasures are a joy, especially when you see them allover again! Prayers for your family! Thank you for sharing!

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom. Dealing with dementia and then the grief over the loss of a parent is a difficult road indeed. May you find comfort in knowing she’s in a new place of peace. And…. Isn’t it funny what a kitty can find to play with?!?! Loved your excitement over each piece you found on your trip. Love your channel.

I am sorry for the loss of your Mom. I can speak from experience when I say losing my parents was so very difficult and I miss them every day. I don’t know if you have siblings but mine have been a salvation for me. Your husband sounds like very much the ‘keeper’. I loved the display of your purchases. It felt like Christmas!

I was lucky enough to go both Brimfield & Roundtop antique shows…what wonderful experiences! Both were with a group so we would show off our finds in the evening when we got back to our hotel, so many beautiful things! If I had to choose one to go back to it would be a hard choice but I would pick Brimfield. The excitement of waiting for a particular field to open and the rush to find that perfect treasure. It’s been 20 years since I was at Brimfield and 19 years going to Roundtop….thanks for your wonderful video, it brought back sweet memories ❤️

I am sure the tribute to your mother was lovely. Everything you do is! You are putting so much thought into it, and it is so personal, which has to be extremely hard. Loss, genuine loss, always is hard.

First of all May God continue to give you strength during this very difficult time in your life. I am so glad that, people now celebrate the wonderful memories that our Love ones leave behind. As a mother I want my children to be able to smile and laugh when they think of me when I’m gone. She did a wonderful job in raising you because, you are very sweet, creative, smart and beautiful. ❤

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing my parents has been the hardest moments of my life. I’ll be thinking and praying for you in the upcoming months.

So sorry for your loss! May God heal your heart! Love all your finds and I have a very similar kitchen scale in black. Glad your husband "noticed" the sheets lol

I am so sorry about your dear mom. Thank you for sharing your personal heartfelt story. I lost my sweet mom from dementia and in less than a month lost my best girlfriend from early onset Alzheimer’s. She was diagnosed at 45 and died at 52. You are so right about grief and how it sneaks up on you, but you have to allow it to heal. ❤

I know exactly how you feel. I lost my mom when I was 40 and it’s extremely scary because we’re adults who are self sufficient, there was a feeling of “who’s going to take care of me now?” Weird, I know. But I will say this, eventually the grief is replaced with the wonderful memories you shared. I know that is how she would want me to my life. I love how you’ve decided to honor her life. ~ Linda

Sarah, I can only express how truly sorry I am for your loss, knowing how it feels to deal with a parent who is ill and has dementia. I lost my father as well, and it was one of the hardest things I ever dealt with in my entire life. Thank you for being so open about your experience. Sometimes when we are sensitive and creative beings it's therapeutic to be open and share what we are going through. A lot of times it does help others to know that someone else like us, is dealing with the same types of situations. I truly appreciate that about you. You are a shining example of grace under pressure. God bless you and your family.

I enjoy watching you so much. September 27 was four years since I lost my amazing Father. Thank you for this. Sending my condolences as well. Sincerely, Lisa

I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom. I just lost my Mom in August 2020, just 17 months after losing my Dad. It was even harder losing her, she hid her cancer from us until April that year when she suddenly needed hospice care. Going through that in the midst of a pandemic, cut off from friends and church, was just so hard. Then when she passed, we couldn't do a service for her quite like we did for my Dad, too risky for family to gather. Just my siblings, their spouses and kids, my Mom's three best friends, and a handful of my closest friends. I'm glad you are getting the chance to honor your Mom in such a beautiful way!! I send my prayers to you. As for your room, just beautiful!! Husbands never seem to notice unless it smacks them in the face, LOL!! Loved seeing your treasures from Boston!!! I gasped out loud over the transfer ware platter, oh my, I LOVE transfer ware!!! And that cast-iron sheep!!! Oh my, everything you bought were items I would have purchased as well, or already have at some point in my life!!! We are more alike than I realized!!! Enjoy the moments of happiness, your Mom would want that for you, and when you are feeling down honor that as well. Grief indeed comes in waves, we can't fight it or make it go away, but we can sit with it, have a cup of tea, breathe, and realize it is just the depth of love looking back. We need to remind ourselves that the love never leaves us, it only waits in another time for us.

Sarah, I am so sorry for all that you had to go through with your mom, and for your loss. I also have a mother who has Alzheimer’s/dementia. I live in Washington too and my mom is on the other side of the state. It’s hard. The past two years have been filled with many sweet memories with her and difficult times too. I love that you have gotten out your mom’s wedding dress. It’s beautiful! You have so many great ideas to celebrate her life. My mom left me many of her journals years ago too, but told me not to read them. I think that now I understand why. No one but the Lord only knows what lies ahead for her, but it will be difficult for me without a doubt. Thank you so much for sharing. I would love to see more of what your plans are to celebrate her life. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

I saw your video yesterday, soon after you'd posted it, and I was so impressed to see how beautifully you shared your sad news, having just watched your Brimfield video, which was such a happy experience. I'm so glad you could enjoy that trip and see an area in New England that isn't too far from me in NY. Thank you for your honesty, and sharing your range of feelings from September. I've also experienced the loss of a parent who gradually deteriorated from dementia over a decade-long period (25+ years ago now). It felt like a long, sad farewell, but I'm so impressed by the way you have handled and shared your loss, and now are honoring your mom and your memories of her. May they continue to bring you comfort in the days and years ahead.

I adore all your beautiful treasures. Your plans for your mom’s service sound lovely. We did the same for my dads and my moms services. Means so much more to see all their mementos. God bless, keep and comfort you. Oh and as a grandmother/DeDee of 10 grands, keep planning for them. Your sweet treasures will be the memories of their tomorrows. I had a sweet Aunt who told me when my 3 kiddos were little to always remember that the things you do today are the memories of tomorrow. ❤🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️

Hi Sarah, I'm so sorry about your mom's passing. In my last job I worked with the elderly and their families and having a loved one with dementia can be so heartbreaking. I'm so glad she had your videos to stay connected with you and that you and your husband made frequent trips to be with her. Good luck with the grieving process, it can certainly be unexpected at times. I have written letters to people I loved and lost, sharing my thoughts and feelings with them and have found that to be very helpful. Having personal items of theirs is so helpful to remember them and stay connected. I am thinking of you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear of your family's loss, grief certainly comes in waves but I'm so glad you are able to honor your mom and create a beautiful memorial for all of her friends and loved ones can share wonderful memories of her. Sending your family prayers for comfort and strength.

So sorry for your lose. I lost my mom in June last year , she had dementia and had swollening problem towards end of life. Thank you for sharing. Take your time with your grief,blessings

I am so very sorry on the loss of your Dear Mom and appreciate your sharing the news with us. It is never easy regardless of how or when we lose our parents - grief will come at times when we least expect it. Embrace those memories.

Thank you so much 🥰my mom went home 10 years ago and I often have beautiful thoughts of her and our time together . She lived with us, next door for 9 years. I miss her very much but am SO THANKFUL that I will be with her again with Jesus Christ ❤

I'm sorry that your dear mom passed away. You certainly found a fine collection of vintage finds. The brown transferware, green scale and dog picture are a few of my favorites. It's wonderful that you had such a grand trip.

I'm so sorry for your loss...we have been through this with our Mother, as many have, but it's never easy. Your video was so nice and I love the things you plan to do to honor your Mother. Take care and thank you for sharing.

The sheets go well with the drapes. You have created a warmth and coziness in the room with the coordinates.

God Bless you and comfort you both my parents passed away in 2019 decorating and gardening have helped me heal you're so right creativity is healing

What a wonderful video. So candid, honest and sentimental. So sorry about your mother's passing. It sounds like her memorial service will be one full of great memories, tears and laughter. Take care

Sorry for your loss

Deepest Condolences. Be thankful for your memories of your precious years together.

I am so sorry for your loss. I promise the grief gets better with time. Your memorial sounds like it will be beautiful......

Just seeing about losing your mom. I've been there. My dear, little mother also had dementia that came on a few years before we really began to see her fading. I identify with planning your mother's service and the sweet pieces of her life you are sharing. We didn't mention the dementia at my mother's service - we focused on who she was and how God had used her throughout her life. Many who loved her dearly thanked me for that. You are in my prayers as you walk this road. Grief is like ocean waves that come and go. Praying that you will sense God's arms holding you close as you plan her service and as you hold close the precious memories of her in your life.
