Mary Lee Hartman -Ipock
Leslie, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I know how very difficult it can be and yet at the same time a type of relief in many ways that they're no longer suffering. This August will be 4 years since my mom died. Please pass along my deepest condolences, sympathy and love to Mark and your family. I know that all the beautiful memories will provide you with comfort and I pray that with each day God's Love will ease the grief and the sorrow just a little bit more. I was sharing with my husband a very funny story about when you got your ears pierced and my mom didn't believe me. Before she would let me get my ears pierced she said well if Leslie did it's okay but I'm not sure about this I need to talk with Mary Ann about it first. She had decided that if you were permitted to then she knew that your parents had discussed it very deeply and it was appropriate. After talking with Mary Ann she decided I could also get my ears pierced. I don't know why that came to mind but it just made me smile. I also remembered all the times that we made the little cherry pies in the fireplace during the winter time. Your mom was just a special person, she was just so warm and comforting to be around. She always made me feel very special and just like one of her own kids. I always loved her. Again all my love to you and your family.
