I've Lost Another Mother

I feel such a loss. I just learned from Alice at the Orthodontist's office that one of my Mothers passed away. I know, good things cannot last forever. And she lived a beautiful long life.
Just last evening I drove past her home. I saw someone in the window. I thought Josephine was standing at the kitchen sink. I thought about how much I love her. I didn't know that it was her daughter instead of her.
My tears won't stop. No one (not even my Dad) told me in time so I could go to her funeral which was last Friday. I must find a way to get a tape of her funeral.
Alice said that someone at her funeral called her a "Quiet Giant". I found her obituary online. The guestbook comments echo my feelings so completely.
I hope she knew how much I loved her.
