...porncake will be on the road starting tomorrow and returning early next week as we head up to my hometown of San Francisco for a memorial for my mother who passed away a few weeks ago...on Friday we will head out into the bay and lay flowers in her honor and then proceed to the party that my mother requested, she was a no funeral kind of gal and we will do everything we can to honor her wishes. Mom was a bright light who gave me so much room to become the person I am and I will be forever grateful to her for the wonderful gifts I inherited from her. Blessedly, Michael and I were able to see her a few days before her moving on and able to have those priceless moments with her and let her know how much she meant to us. So come Friday around 4 o'clock pm San Francisco time, if you would be so kind, please think a pleasant thought for a wonderful woman by the name of Nancy and then go have a wonderfully fun-filled time on her, she would be honored. All possible best for all of you, xo, Craig.

Lo siento mucho.
Superar todo el dolor y el peso de la ausencia de quien no volveremos a ver, oír, tocar o sentir solo empieza a ser posible cuando se comprende que esa persona nunca dejará de estar dentro de lo mejor de uno mismo. gracias por este punto de encuentro.
Un fuerte abrazo.

I´m sorry..
Overcome all the pain and the weight of the absence of those who will not see, hear, touch or feel only becomes possible when you realize that that person will never cease to be in the best of yourself.
Thanks for this meeting point.
A big hug.

Condolences, sympathy, and empathy for your loss. I am so happy for you that you got to say what you wanted to before she left. So many people are left with unfinished business.
I too got to tell my mom how much I loved her and what she gave me. It helped ease the pain of her loss.
Losing a loved one is never easy, but I hope you can find some peace in your memories and love for her.
Best wishes.
Touching to honor your mother (who from what you have written,seems a delight) in such a personal way. Wishing her well on her journey and sending peace to those left on the shore. Take care, Leonard
Craig,
I will be thinking about Nancy at 4:00 on Friday. I lost my Mom three years ago in San Francisco. She, also, was a bright light. I know they're both twinkling and proudly looking down on us.

Blessings for a wonderful and caring mother...and for the gift of life. Thank you for sharing. I will whisper a prayer at 2 PM [Central] knowing that a life has been honored and celebrated.
Your loving words about your mother made me think of this quote from Thornton Wilder:
“All that we know about those we have loved and lost is that they would wish us to remember them with a more intensified realization of their reality. What is essential does not die but clarifies. The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude.”
RIP Nancy.
So sorry to hear of the loss of you beloved Mother,they are so Special,and by the loving way you speak of Nancy she was Very Special.I will definately think of her as requested...She sounds Wonderful Graig,by the sounds of it we have both been Blessed with having two wonderful women as our Mum's...Celebrate her life Mate
Cheers from Downunder...Derek
Craig:
My deepest thoughts are with you at this time.
You do so much to inspire others, I hope the time away allows for the solace you seek with the death of your mother.
