Beautiful post. This made me cry all over again. I’d forgotten she got in on the stairmaster challenge at the end. The quote from Kim is perfect and poignant. Thank you for posting this.

Truly eloquent words to describe the amazing person and mom she was to our Jen. I’m glad you shared this here.

Jen, your mother made the ultimate sacrifice. One we all hope we would make in a time of crisis. She has become a true hero and will live in the hearts of many forever. Her grandson may not realize it now but he has a true guardian angel with him always and what is better than having your own grandma as your own personal guardian.
I wish I could be there tomorrow to join you in your “walking her home” walk. I will however have an oreo cookie in her honor.
My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. May God be with all of you.

Much love,
Michelle

What a horrible thing to happen. I loved reading Kim’s comments….she was an awesome support for Jen as well as for all of us! She will be missed by so many.

(Annabel and all, I will be sending a card to Jen’s family….all bloggers who wish to include a message, sign their name, etc are welcome to leave me a comment and I will include it in the card. Check my blog for more details.)

What a beautiful tribute to Jen’s wonderful mother. As if I haven’t cried enough thinking about her and her family, your writing brought me to tears once again. Jen really has a true friend in you, Annabel.

my heart was breaking when I heard/read about Jen’s mom. I’ve experienced losing a parent suddenly, without a goodbye or anything. It hurts deeper than anyone can imagine. My heart goes out to Jen and her family.

This is a beautiful tribute to Jen’s Mom. Very well written and right from the heart. She did seem to be an amazing woman and someone who touched many.

Annabel, I had my post for tomorrow set to go before reading this this morning. After reading your post & going over to read Jen’s post, I have renamed my post & made it in honor & memory of Jen’s mom even though I did no know her.
