    I am blessed to have known her. She was full of joy during our outings. I can easily imagine her expressing that same joy now in heaven.

    The strongest emotion I felt after my mother passed from dementia was the sudden feeling that I was a daughter again. I had felt like her mother for so long, that feeling like a daughter, albeit a sad one who had just lost her mother felt so right.

    You will have some emotions to process. For me I am just starting to remember what my mom was like during healthier days. But those memories are coming for me and they will for you too.

    Take care of yourself, Kim. It is what your mother would want.

    Sweet sweet woman … I remember how she loved going to lunch or dinner here in Lake Tomahawk. For many years, enjoyed the Lioness with her and your dad in the Lions. Good people! Loved visiting them at their home. She was SPECIAL! I bet you have so many wonderful memories! ❤️
