Her name was Nancy

Her  name was Nancy.  She loved Shrimp and sardines.  She bird watched for fun.  She pulled trash off of the curb, cleaned it up and sold it for good money.  She pinched me in the behind when we cooked together just to be a twerp.  She loved her Husband, children, grandchildren and family.  She was my Mom and she peacefully went to heaven this morning at 7:00am.

Hello.

My name is Lindsay and I am friends with Holly Morales. I came across this through her Friend's Page and I am deeply saddened by your tremendous loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Much peace to you today and every day henceforth.

I am so glad that I was able to know her. To know that she valued fun and laughter with her family. To know that she loved Jesus. To know that she's there with Him now. To know that He's taken care of her pain for good. To know that He's also right there in the midst of all her family. You are all loved and I'm praying for you. ~schwen

HI.
I'm Trudy, Russ and Becky Wings daughter.
First, I love Mike and your mom very much. I even called them Nonny and Poppy to my kids until they moved and we didn't see them often enough for my kids to remember them anymore.
Second, I have complete mixed emotions about Nonny going to Heaven. I know that she is no longer in any pain, and I know that God is in control, but I also know that she will be greatly missed by her family and friends, my parents included.
Another thing, I've really enjoyed reading the blog. You've got a way with words that makes a serious situation much easier to read about. It can even be quite comical at times, the way you word things.
Thank you so much Michelle for sharing the experience with us and for sharing your mom.
Love in Christ,
Trudy

Wow, Michelle! I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom, family and of course you are in my prayers. I am in the process of reading your blog. I know it is hard to loose someone you love. You know I am here if you need to cry, laugh, or whatever you need to do. I hope you do take me up on the offer to come and visit us in good ol' Louisiana. Again, my symapthies are with you! Love, Nicole

Thank you for your "rawness" and thoughts about your mom. I have been keeping updated by this blog, praying for rest and peace for your mom and your family. As painful as this allis...find the Goodness of the Lord in these times. It's ok to cry unto the Lord as David did in the Psalms. Psalm 61 is precious to me since the death of my mom this year. I will continue to pray for you and your precious family. Val (sarah b's friend)

Praise God. I know this time is so surreal for you all, but Nancy is in a very real place of comfort and joy. I woke up June 24th at 6:30am with an overwhelming urgency to pray for Nancy...so for the next 45 minutes I prayed fervently for your family and for Nancy specifically. Sarah B called me to let me know Nancy was Home...and my heart was flooded with joy and my eyes were flooded with tears. Joy that my sister was Home...and tears for the temporary separation felt by those of us left here on this earth.
