Perhaps it should not be goodbye, Linda, but until next time... in some other place... and surely always in your heart.

This is wonderful. Sad and touching and vivid. . .
have to say it again. Wonderful! Angels who drop
down to help make the difference between life
and death. They will live forever in our hearts,
minds, and souls. . .and those, no doubt, of
countless others. Sorry for your loss. . .and
glad for your gain. Phyllis <3

Linda I agree with everyone else, this is beautiful and compassionate. I think you and Catherine were both lucky to have known each other. And it sounds like you might have gotten some of your sweetness and angelic ways from her. She will be in my prayers.

Another compassionate write from you, Linda. A wonderful tribute you a lady you love. Lettign go is hard I know but when we know that they are going home where they really belong, it will be easy. Also remember, soon we will all meet in that one place where no one will know grief.

A truly heartfelt tribute to her, Linda, and I'm sure she knows how very much you care. My ex-mother-in-law was also a truly fine woman, and I got along with her marvelously, and when she passed, I missed her very much - and I still do.

Dear Linda, my heart and sympathy are with you. Often times our inlaws become almost and sometimes more important to us then our blood relations. I lost a brother in law ten years or so ago and he was one of my favorite fmaily members who I trustd more then any of my own family. I never got over his sudden death but the up side is I was lucky to know and learn from him as you have from your MIL. Big hug.

Linda, there is no goodbye, only so long, until next time you meet. And you will.
For God knows both your hearts.

I often have wondered where all your sweetness comes from.
You dropped a hint here.
The love never dies.
