Oh my gosh
I am so sorry I didn't see this before now. I am very sorry you had to lose your mother so young Sabrina. She was a beautiful and vibrant woman. May she rest in peace indeed

Hugs to you and your dad - how is he holding up?
I think he will have a harder time. The last year I spent a lot more time with my mom and especially when she got sick. I always tried to do things for her and make her things she liked to eat.

There will be a few recipes that I hope I will be able to make. She could do it all and I only wish we could have gone to Germany together.

I am so sorry. When I started following your first thread I was sure that you mother would make it.

She was a strong woman and I am sure she was (and still is) proud of you for overcoming your fears and being strong for her when she needed you most.

Please accept my condolences.

It'll be pretty special when you do make it to Germany. You can take her photo with you, so she CAN "be there" with you.

I'm so so sorry to hear that your Mom has passed!!


I wish I had better words right now; but I guess all I can say is that my prayers are with you and that if you ever need to talk or anything, I'd be glad to listen!

I really was hoping your mom would pull through this ordeal. Tragic loss for you and I'm very sorry. My mom is also German and much like you have described your mom. Selfless and giving. She was a teenager in Frankfurt during the war.
I'm very fortunate that my mom is still with us.

I hope you can find some comfort in your pleasant and proud memories you have of your special mom.

Oh sweetie, I was so dreading that this would be here today.
I cannot believe how well you've handled everything - including your fear, your sorrow, your anger - AND been such a comfort and help to your dad - and I'm sure your mom,too through all of this. I am just so, so, so, so sorry it came to this.
Life ISN'T fair.

You wrote an amazing tribute to an obviously incredible woman. From the pictures you posted, you can SO see she was a beautiful woman inside and out. She just radiates that special something - and I hope that's how you remember her.
You certainly inherited that "special something" from her and I'm sure you cannot even imagine how proud she is of you, though that is of little comfort to you now.

Oh my, I'm so sorry about your mother. This is so sad and such a tragedy.
Please except my sincere condolences. Your mother sounds like a beautiful woman and someone I would have liked to have known.

The visitation is tomorrow night and the funeral is friday at noon. I miss her so much already. I still don't think it has set in yet, but I'm sure one day it will.

Oh hon I'm so sorry. Your mom was so beautiful, and I can just see in her face and her radiant smile that she had a good, loving soul inside. I bet I would have really liked her a lot.

I'm ashamed that I didn't find this thread yesterday... maybe I was afraid to see it, or maybe I was just too confused by my own situation. I've thought of your mom a dozen times yesterday and today, but I never went looking for news... I guess I didn't want to know.

So I'm a coward, and I'm late... but you have all my prayers and hopes for you and your father to be strong and carry on. I hope you can let everything you loved about her become a part of you as well, and live forever in that way.

So much love coming to you, darlin.

We had to go pick up flowers this morning for the casket. I picked out something my mom would have liked. On the way to the commissary, I heard a song by Michael Buble and it almost made me cry because it was how I felt.

I know that sooner or later it will hit me that she isn't going to answer the phone anymore or walk through the door to the garage.

Oh dear, all I can offer are some hugs
