My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.
This is always a hard time, even when it seems to have offered relief to the one who's ailing.
Thank you for posting her poem. It really says it all.

Now this really made me cry. God Love her she had a lust for life and enjoyed the time she was allotted. She was a great person and well loved by all her friends. I will never forget her. We were more or less cell mates, for I am in the same boat she was in. Oxygen 24/7.Only outing is to the Doctor. God Bless you and Mark, Katy. Goodbye to Phyllis, Goodbye. Nancy:)

Dear Katy,
You mother will be greatly missed! I miss her already. We spoke back and forth many times regarding our circumstances and health. FanStory has provided the same outlet for me as I have been progressively losing my eyesight. Your mom's posts always brought humor to my day.

Please accept my condolences in your great loss. I sent morning prayers up today for you and your family.
Sally Law xoxo

A loss for all of us, she was a private person and yet she was always there to help all of us. I remember all the times she helped me as I fought her kicking and screaming all the way, but always telling her how much I appreciated her help in my growth. My prayers and pride to you and your family

Katy, my condolences on the loss of your mom (I can see by your note that you inherited some of her writing talent). I'm sure you've heard from many on Fanstory - let me add my name to the list of people she touched, and who admired her even though we never met her. Particularly touching were the times she would mention, in a post or in a note, what a wonderful husband she had.

Having lost my own mom a few months back, I know the hole it leaves, but I also know that the good parts never really leave you. I wish you peace.

Hello Katy,

I was deeply saddened to hear about your mom. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your dad and the entire family.

Phylis was very well-liked here at Fanstory. She was a terrific friend and teacher to many of us and she will truly be missed.

The last stanza of this poem that she wrote pretty well says it all. I pray that I can have the same courage as your mom writes about when it's time to take my Heavenly flight.

God be with you all in your time of sorrow...Bill

Katy,

This is absolutely beautiful. And, of course, you have your mom's beautiful way of expressing yourself. *smile*

You've left me crying -- yet AGAIN. That seems to be my state of late. But I suppose I will be crying quite a while over this lady. Wow.

I told your father we would be creating a multi-author book to collect and hold the individual tributes from members here at FS in one place. That's just begun and it will slowly and steadily be filling day by day.

When you're ready... use this link to get there and then the chapter numbers at the top of each page to continue. (If that is confusing you can ask qs of me or anyone else here you are comfortable with.)

Sending prayers, love, kisses, hugs -- all and more that you can imagine. Thanks for sharing your mother with us. She was OUR blessing.
