I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. <br /><br />Your ending to this celebration of life was perfect: "As Oliver says at the end of the poem, "Oh, violets, you did signify, and what shall take your place?" Nothing ever quite does.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-53038328851026498142013-04-16T17:22:10.329-06:002013-04-16T17:22:10.329-06:00I am so sorry for your loss, Linda.

This seems so beautifully true so many times, when someone dies. I am so glad for her sons and she, that they had this last connection.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404917167112072640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-62989416226405940062013-04-16T05:53:53.503-06:002013-04-16T05:53:53.503-06:00Thank you Tabatha.
