She was a woman of class, style, grace and had a very dry sense of humor. She had a special relationship with everyone she met and as one of her business advisors once said, "Never underestimate the brilliance of Molly." She also never minced words-her motto was usually, "get to the point!"On the morning of the day she passed, she walked with her nurse to go out for lunch and she put on her lilac champagne lipstick (of which I found 20 tubes around her home) and brushed her hair- and said, "How do I look!?" As you can see from this picture, she looked very good! She was so beautiful inside and out.
My Mom, like my wonderful father Paul, was my hero. I was so touched by the outpouring of love from all of the people she knew in her life. She is now my guardian angel and I know she is with my Dad and they are both making sure to give everyone they meet a smile and a handshake in heaven. If you are lucky enough to still have your mother here on earth, make sure you give her a big hug today. Cherish her. "Ma–I’m thinking of you with so much love!!" |
Andrea,
This is such a beautiful sentiment! Your description sounds just like that of my grandmother, Belle, Betty’s mom as I am sure you already know.She passed just before her 85th birthday. It will be 10 years in February and you are right on, it never gets easier, just different. She was my best friend.
Betty’s passing seems differnt, more difficult in a sense as time goes on and it sinks in. This will change in time as well.

Your mother was a very special woman.
Every day, she knew how much you loved her and deeply cared for her.

My mom turned 88 on September 10th. My friends who no longer have living parents remind me to cherish and hug her often. Your mom had lilac champagne lipstick; mine has a supply of Aqua Net for the next hundred years. I hope she was inscribed in the book of life, however, for a good year.
