Such beautiful words from you and your sister. What a lovely tribute. I didn't even know your mom and yet I felt the love she had for you guys. It brought tears to my eyes. She sounds like an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing and so sorry for your loss.

My mom passed away on February 2nd after her battle with cancer. I read this when you wrote it and my girlfriend wondered why I would read that when I was dealing with my own journey because it hit so close to home.

It put things in perspective for me and along with prayer, allowed me a certain level of peace. I blogged about it before she passed and still have things in my heart to say but, I wanted to thank you for posting this.

My heart ached for you as I read this BEAUTIFUL post--but at the same time I am so happy for you--to have such a special relationship with your momma, who was such a beautiful and inspiring woman. She will live on forever in your words. thank you for opening up and sharing this post with us!

I'm so very, very sorry. My dad just died on Christmas Eve and we had his memorial the same day as you did for your beloved mom. Reading/watching this has been healing for me... I'm starting to pull myself out of the pit of despair. I'm starting to smile at memories instead of cry; I hope you are too.

The video is beautiful. I can't even begin to imagine your loss - and if I do, I tear up. I am so glad to see you are finding a little peace in the sadness.

I am still thinking of you.

Oh, friend. I'm so sorry. From the heartfelt description of your mother that you wrote, I see you. What a testament to her.

I can't believe that I never commented. I love you my dear friend. It was beautiful. I feel like I knew your mom through your photos and your brilliant words.

Oh Tiffany,
Your mom sounded like such a wonderful woman who clearly raised you to be the beautiful woman that you are.
Many prayers have been said for you in the past 2 weeks and I will continue to keep your family wrapped in prayers as you find your way through this difficult time.
Much love, my friend.

Tiff-

I am late. As usual. But I need to tell you how sorry I am. I got so choked up reading the amazing words you wrote for your mom. May the memories you have ease the pain of your loss.

2011-01-09T06:11:45.876-08:00

You look just like her, Tiffany. Clearly she gifted you with that contagious smile that just bursts at the seem with love.

Your tribute to her (both yours and your sisters) was absolutely endearing. I lost my father suddenly 2 years ago and I understand what a tough job it is to try and weave the perfect words to describe a life and a love that words can simply not even begin to describe. You both did it so eloquently.

My heart is heavy and sad, my eyes filled to the brim with tears for you and your family. Holding you all in the deepest place of my heart and soul. Prayers for peace and healing for you all. Much love to you and yours, Tiffany.

2011-01-08T16:09:43.924-08:00

Oh Tiffany...finally I sat here and read your eulogies and watched that gorgeous video. I am stunned by the beauty of your mother. And of course deeply saddened for your dad and for you and your sister. The love they shared just shines out from those photos. And what you wrote about the old adage about the "best thing for kids is their father loving their mother" is truly obvious in your family. And I am blessed to have come from the same love dynamic....

You are such a strong inspiring woman Tiffany and now I see that you have followed in your mother's footsteps....she lives in you and so many more people know of her because of all the people YOU have touched.

Thinking of you...

The Eulogies you and your sister put together are beautiful, inspiring (I want to be a mom like your mom), and give so much insight into the wonderful woman that raised you. I'm so sorry for your loss. xoxox

I can't get past the lump in my throat.

The slide show was beautiful. Your mom's life with blessed with such a loving circle of family and friends. The person you are today is such a clear testament to her.

Like Jill, I read how your mom would tell you she loved you, even when mad, and thought, Good Gawd, why aren't I doing that?

Your mom is teaching us all how to be better mothers.

Tiffany, that was just beautiful.

Your mom was the mom I want to be-- I've never said that I love my kids even when I'm mad, (assuming it was understood.) I'm borrowing that, with thanks to her. Thank you.

Sending lots of love to you...

I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I don't even have the words to say. I can only begin to imagine what you are going through. It is obvious that you and your sister loved your mom so much, and she knew it. I am sorry she was taken so soon and unexpectedly from your lives. I will be thinking of you.

Tiffany, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your words show us your mother's spirit, and are spoken with such a deep love for your mother and what she meant to you and your family. We lost my father 3 years ago, on my mom's 49th birthday, very unexpectedly. I understand and wish I could be there in person to tell you that. And I am sure you know this, but your mother would be proud. Very touching post. My thoughts are with you and yours.

2011-01-07T14:24:57.036-08:00

Tiffany, such beautiful words that you wrote about your mother. She sounds amazing & I truly believe that you light up a room today simply by learning from her and her love.
All my love,
Rachel
