Sadly, my mother passed away late afternoon yesterday.
December 17th, 2011.
I still have a hard time believing this.
She was my best friend.
And she was sick--yes.
But, I have seen that stubborn old soul
recover from many, many things.
Why didn't she hint to me
that she was leaving?
I want to thank everyone in the OS community for their support. Your words meant so much to her. I'm glad she let you in and others picked up on how profound she was. I don't know what else to say. Thank you.

Strength, peace and love.
I'm sorry for your loss, but your mother was reckless, ignorant and evil for her entire adult life. She will spend eternity in a much warmer clime.
I too am sorry to hear this news. I had many cyber-conversations with your mom and found her to be someone I liked. She struggled and loved as best she could and I admire her for that. She will be missed.
@Treesah - I have no idea who you are. Your comments are so mean-spirited and hostile that it says way more about how troubled you are than anything about Julie. I will say a prayer for you too.
As for Treesah...there's no point in responding garbage comments.
last post:
:"Why is it so damn hard to find an attractive gentleman with a job that has the same skin color that I do?
Society places bizarre expectations on men of color, and that self-destructive thug mentality really limits opportunities for our youth.
More on this later..."
she says in her bio she got no illusions.
she conquer the world, she says she gonna do.ha
hardly likely.
I am so sorry for your loss...and may a bit of peace find you each day.
RATED!!!!
Parents sometimes never tell their children, grown or otherwise, the reality, then when it happens, we're like, why not?

Rated for sympathies to you and yours.
HUGGGGGGGGGGG

Thank You
I smile with a sense of loss whenever
I am reminded of my deceased Mother
I noticed Sparkling rated You just now
`
I wonder how she is? She get tattoo too?
Sparkling always makes me smile a smile.
I built my Mother a bent-kerf coffin too.
One of these days - I may show a photo.
It was a perfect way to grieve. I tear too.
There were tear stains on the cheery top.
The sideboards were white stained poplar.
The Poplar wood bends. The top was wild.
It was local wild cheery with white streaks.
Cherry wood boards have off-white wood.
Bless you too
My thoughts
She always`

Love always,
your mom.
I miss her.
Bless you.
Present ay.
May her memory forever be for a blessing.
I will never forget meeting her and the family(you too) down in Bradenton a couple of years ago.
I am so deeply sorry her voice is silenced here.
But her posts live on...tears...
