I'm deeply, deeply touched by all your responses.

Thank you all!

After spending all of yesterday making arrangements, I needed a little Mac-therapy. There's still much to be done today.

I share the feelings of everyone whose posted above, Karl.  Lost my Dad in '87, and started wearing his watch (had never felt the need of a watch, since clocks are everywhere) as a daily reminder of how much I miss him.  We "bumped heads" from the time I was 7 until I turned 31 (and barely spoke to each other, except at extremely high volumes during the Vietnam era), when we started to rebuild our relationship, and over the next 13 years, became very close.  It's obvious that you loved your Mom , and that page is a nice memorial for her.  Condolences, my friend. . .

Karl, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your tribute was beautiful. By the way, your mom raised a son who always seems willing to give his time and energy to help others. She did a nice job.

Karl, I feel for you. My deepest sympathies.

I can't imagine to a life without a mother, it doesn't matter that you've moved out at a young age (I was 16) and you're all grown up and independent, a mother is always a mother and something very dear to all of us.

Your mother was a beautiful woman, even in old age she had that glow some women have.

The page you made is a wonderful tribute to your mother and I'm honored that you wanted to share them with me. Thank you!

karl,

Your tribute to your Mother was a beautiful testimonial to the deep and abiding affection you had for her.
What a fitting way to express how you feel; and what a fine son she raised.
May the Angels lead her into Paradise.

Karl

I lost my Mother to Alzheimers a few years ago - she was relatively young when diagnosed with the disease - and although at the time of her death I felt I'd really lost her some years before, it still hurt just the same.

My thoughts are with you.
