What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why your mother left this earth so soon, or why she left before you & your family were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you'll begin to remember not just that she died, but that you & yours lived. And that your mother's life gave all of you memories too beautiful to forget.

I was saddened to hear about Kathy's death. I worked at MTA with Kathy years ago and remember her fondly. My sincere regrets go out to her family.
