Loss
My dear friends,
I am saddened... heartbroken, to share with you the news that my mother passed away last Wednesday, 9th July. But within the sadness there is so much to be grateful for; there are and have been so many blessings showered on me and my family over these past days; there is a sense of absolute assurance that her soul is progressing now, free from the limitations of this physical world. She was buried after a beautiful ceremony on Saturday last, 12th July. My family has been surrounded by love and care which we appreciate deeply.
Prayers, thoughts, the lighting of a candle are all so welcome. If you pass a flower that catches your eye, allow a thought of Mary Maguire to be offered.
I thank you.
Imelda

Oh Imelda, I am so sorry for your loss and I will tell you just as you told me, I am here. I understand exactly what you mean by your assurance as I experienced that too, for days, all I had to do was look. Prayers and thoughts are with your family and with you. And I will look for Mrs. Mary in every flower I see today.
Much Love,
Robbin
I am so sorry for the sadness you've been experiencing but I am glad to know that you are surrounded by so much love. I send my love to you and your family as well and I will light a candle. I promise that every time I pass a flower this day I will think of your dear mother and say a little prayer of comfort for you.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You, your mother, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
From Edward Hay...
"Help us, Compassionate God, to let Your ancient and eternal song of death and life be played out in each of us, as we live out our faith that death is but a doorway that opens unto a greater and fuller expression of life, that opens to a final union with You who are life! Blessed are You, Lord of Life, who alone knows the hour of our death and ultimate union with You. Blessed are You, Lord our God, whose messenger is death."

I am so very sorry to read this Imelda. Having gone through this same loss 18 months ago I know what your heart is feeling. There are no words that can ease this but know you are surrounded in love and comforting thoughts. You and your family will be in those thoughts.
Perhaps our Mothers will meet and tell one another stories of their daughters.
Love and hugs,
Lisa
I'm so sorry for your loss, Imelda. I will say hello to your mother whenever a lovely flower catches my eye this week.
My heart aches for you with sympathy as you move forward through this difficult time. We too have lost a family member on July 7 so lighting candles and remembering Mary Maquire with lots of love and warm thoughts.
Blessings of the starry way to you and yours.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll light a candle and pick some flowers for your mother today.
My dear Imelda,
I am so so sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter what age you are when your mom dies (I was 38), you are suddenly an orphan.
My prayers go out to you and your family today and for many days to come.
My mom loved flowers too, so much.
I too am very sorry for your loss, Imelda. Prayers and comfort in your grieving, O xxoo
I'm so sorry, Imelda. Flowers are always meaningful to me, and now I'll add your mother to the list.
Does this mean you're not in the states anymore?
I am so sorry.
I've put up a prayer for your mother (and thought of her as I look at the Madonna Lily that graces my desk.)
Love, light and gentleness to you all.

I'm sorry to hear your loss. I can only offer my deepest condolences to you and family, and how I wanted to say how lucky you and family are to have been surrounded by love and care. My thought will be to your mother when I see the most beautiful flower...
I found your blog this morning when checking Cate's site.
I am so very sorry about your mom.
My prayers and thoughts are with you this early morning in Nashville in the USA.
For some reason I feel a bond with you.
Maybe because I found myself alone in my 40's and now at 3 score and 10 I look back and guess what
I made it!!!
Dear Imelda, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss, my heart and prayers will be with you as yours have been for me when I have needed them. I am off to light a candle now too. I am glad that you have been surrounded by love. Take care my dear, I wish you well and I know I will think of Mary Maguire whenever I see a beautiful flower.

Oh, Imelda! I am so very, very sorry. I haven't visited lately thinking you were still on vacation, and I'm so sad for you...

Imelda, I only learned of your loss just now, but I am compelled to offer my condolences, my own feelings for you as you grieve, and my wish for you that your own life will continue to be enriched and informed by having known and loved and been birthed by Mary Maguire.
What a precious thought of passing a flower with a gentle thought for your mother. I will do just this in her honor.
