Thanks for sharing Bat’s run info. Maybe you, or someone like you, could pass this info along to Al Frankin. He’s in Minn…He’s on the radio..The Majority Report has also been supportive of Progressive candidates. Just an idea.

After reading about the cruise janes mom wanted them to take it made me think of my moms memorial.
We played specially selected music and one song was jimmy buffets Its been a lovely cruise, i wish i could give you a link to it but i dont know how. I think you may find comfort in it.
Also a most comforting one also played at moms memorial was Calling all angels.

I think listening to them both is somehow cathartic. I hope they are for you too.Deepest condolences to you Jane.

Music can lift you up.

In a similar situation to Jane’s, I found the comfort and support of others to be a big help, but there was a private thread that few could touch, including me. A book that I read down the line actually helped a lot: A Grief Remembered by C.S.Lewis.

From another lurker, deepest sympathy to Jane and her family, and echos of Laura Strand and Treehugger. Jane gives so much to all of us and so much of it must come from her mother. Many of us, especially us lurkers, can suffer from identity theft, but Jane’s mother can never suffer identity theft because her very beautiful identity lives on in the very beautiful identity of her daughter. Immense thanks, Jane. Our prayers are with you and your mother.

Todd @129, very well spoken. When the heart opens, the words flow, that’s what I’ve found.

**First de-lurk.

I’m very nervous, so bear with me.

Christy and Jane,

Your moms did what all moms want to do. Raise caring, intelligent, wonderful people who will make the world a better place. I thank them for it, and I thank you both for providing this oasis of sanity. You and your commenters delight me every day. (Although frankly, you are all VERY intimidating.)

And Jane, “there are no words,” just love and admiration. I wish you peace and comfort.
