shell, thank you so much for your letter. We had my son's birthday party at the site where the accident happened. Alot of people came including his friends, we had ballons that everyone wrote on and we let them go. I read what some of them wrote, and knowing that they will miss him almost as much as we do gives me strenght. We had cake and his cousin ate two pieces-one for him and one for Matthew. it turned out real good, I did cry. I'm still trying to figure out how to work through this site about posting and pictures. But just know that I care and even with my mom gone, she left alot of things in me of her to keep moving on-No Matter What. Do you have kids? or a family? It's hard no matter who leaves us. You will get through this, not happy about it, but "we" will. Take care of your self. hugs Marcy

Hi Shell, I lost my mom on May 30th this year. My dad is still with us. We are still dealing with financial issues too. She was a strong caring person, and showed me how to take care of my dad and the bills and all. There was still alot of things I didn't want to learn because I didn't want her to go. She died of cancer and I cared for her the whole time. It is hard, bless you so much. You are not alone, I will think of you often and hope that you have people to help do some of those things that need to be done for your mom. cry if you want to, I do.
