She is in a hut where children are hungry, cradling the crying one and feeding them all the bread of life. She is in your back yard walking on the waters of life in Lake Michigan. She is somehow one with Mother Earth and Mother Mary and with all of you who came from her womb or moved in the warmth of her wonder. I who never knew her am touched by her too and feel her reaching toward my sister who just called. Dona is surviving cancer and troubled by an infection that may well keep her from going to her youngest grandchild's baptism tomorrow. She too may find herself spreading her arms in an embrace that only God can endure and sustain, yet one that is so real we feel it deeper than the air surrounding our soul. What can I wish you in all this mystery but peace, Margie, the peace you give, the peace for which you live? i love you, jane Dear Margie,

But the love I have felt from all my brothers and sisters has been most comforting. What I have learned from this beautiful woman who was my mother can never be truly ackowledged..... I will miss her smile, but she will be with me for always. Anne Being so far awy as mom died has been so difficult. But the love I have felt from all my brothers and sisters has been most comforting.

My mother's death has heightened my awareness of all things new in the past few days; young kids, small animals, new plant life... It is with human life as it is with nature, with our planet; to everything turn, turn turn... I am so grateful to my sister for her compassionate contributions to my mother's end days.

So lovely how Hospice honors life and death. And now we the living survivors can honor the energy of our Grief... and eventually learn to accept and harness it maybe. For me I don't think grief ever goes away. That is OK because it sustains memory. I liked the book "Facing Death and Finding Hope" Many condolences to you Margaret.

We have no choice but to participate in the death/resurrection cycle, but you did it so consciously. Your mother will send you many blessings, I know it. Love, Bev Margie,
