Hi!!!!! I am sending you a great big hug! I hope you have a pleasant day!

Dearest Ouima, I have been out of town for a few days and just read your posts. Thank you for taking the time to let us know you are coping and finding your way. You are so much in my thoughts.

Oh Mamacita, I have just returned from Sydney and found that you have lost your dear Sully. My thoughts and love are with you and your family. I took great strength from the friendship and support I received from these pages, including from you, when Mum died, and I'm sure you will do the same. Stay strong.

Dear Mamacita,
I'm one of the newbies (and b'day girl) that you extended warm wishes to today. So I came by for a visit and discovered your recent loss. I send you my prayers and know you will find peace and ease as time passes. I really enjoyed visiting your picture gallery. What beautiful children!
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you better when you are feeling up to it. Feel free to stop by my place anytime. Big hugs and lots of flowers to you.

Mamacita, I stopped by to find out how your getting on and to take some time out to listen to your YouTube. What beautiful music! I love piano music. And when the grief of missing Sully wells up, remember we are all here supporting you with love and prayer.

Hi Mama, saw you post today. Sometimes you just have to say no thank you. You take care of yourself, you are the only one who can.

Dear Mamacita,
I wrote this on the easy page today:
Ouima, you're surrounded by love and a lot of caring people. Tell them you're fine and that you love them but now it's time to let go to give you breathing room. Tell them that when you need help, you'll be sure to let them know! Here's a cyberhug to you
I'd like to meet you one day. I've a feeling that you and Dino have a lot in common. She was the epitome of love and serenity and I almost cried to leave her. Gentle souls like her and you are few and far apart. I will pass the glow of love and caring to you that she left with me. Pass it on when you see another soul in need.

I haven't posted much of my sympathy on Easy but my thought have been with you nevertheless. Every day I wonder how you are doing.

Ouima, I've been thinking of you each day. I'm glad to hear you are feeling stronger. You are fortunate to have loving family and friends who worry and care for you, but this is a journey you must, ultimately, make yourself. I know they will understand this. Please remember that we are all here for you whenever you need us. Another hug coming your way...

Mamacita, I have not been around for ages and have just read of your tragic loss with horror and shock. I am sending you as much strength as a can through prayer. Will email you later. I know our God support you and yours, however dark it seems at the time. Blessings and peace.

Hi Mamacita - I am just stopping by with a warm Michigan hug and to let you know I am thinking of you.

Mamacita, a day doesn't go by without a thought of you and how you're doing. A cyberhug to you

It is sooooo good to see you are back posting. I can't begin to tell you how much you were missed. I hope you have a great day!

Hey Mama.. just to let you know. you are in my thoughts and prayers daily

I see you still have 2 pages. Thought you were trying to come back as a second. Glad to see you posting - guess you know you have been really missed around here by now from all the comments.

Hi Mamacita. I'm catching up on archives, and see that you've been posting again. I do think of you often, especially when I think about how my mum was in the same situation in '02. I know that you'll make it! For you

Mama, I have been away for the weekend and have just seen your message on SA5. Please do not feel you need to bare your soul to us, if you just want us to move on, that is what we shall do, you call the shots.
ps Please do not feel that you have to answer us all on our pages, I think that will be too hard. You have thanked us all on easy and SA, we are all just grateful to see you back again. Take your time Mama, we are here.

Morning Mamacita!
Thank you for your warm welcome and birthday wishes. I have had you in my thoughts and prayers.
After losing my mom a few years ago (my first really big loss) I was surprised how delayed my grieving could be. Anyway...I'm loving this site and hope to become a little more recognized. Sometimes I feel a bit left out on the puzzle pages, but I think it probably just takes time for people to get to know me.
Sending a big hug and warm regards your way.

Mamacita, I've been sporadic in visiting the Sudoku site lately, but something led me to your page this morning. When I saw condolences I went through the archives to find what happened. I am so very, very sorry about Sully. There are no words I can offer that will ease your sorrow, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have always found you to be a wise, graceful, strong woman and admire everything I've seen here on the Sudoku site with regard to you. I suspect you are surrounded by many who love you and will help you through this difficult time. Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the
warmth of Their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that
sometimes there isn't any more.

No more hugs, no more special moments to
celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more 'just one
minute.' Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes
away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say 'I LOVE YOU'

So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's
broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for friendships ... And old cars
.. And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging
parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we
are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a
classmate we
grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special. And so, We keep them
close!

I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to
the People I think of in the same way. Now it's your turn to send this to all
those people Who are 'keepers' in your life, including the person who sent it
if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your
friends know you love them?

I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if
I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or
three words needing to be said.

Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they
don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and
a smile can do.

And just in case GOD calls me home
I LOVE YA!!!

Live today to the fullest, because tomorrow is not promised.

Can you read it all??? Best of Luck.

I think I managed to put it on your personal page. Cheers.

Hi Ouima. I just wanted to stop in and give you my best wishes for the upcoming wedding. Give your daughter my love, but save some for yourself. Cheers!

Hello Mamacita - I am just stopping in to say, "Hello!" I hope the sun has been shining for you! How is your new great granddaughter? I bet she is growing like a weed. And......when is the wedding and...... who is getting married? Wow. I am full of questions tonight. I hope you have had a good day.

Mamacita, a quick note to let you know that I think of you often. Sorry to read about the family sadnesses. Unfortunately we cannot live without also dying. May you embrace the joys of life even as you feel the sadnesses Love and prayers.

Home work !! Mama I just wish they'd come to school! :)

What no Wedding Photos posted yet? I stopped by to see the sari wedding dress. The way I'm typing tonight, one would think I've had way too much to drink. So I'll say goodnight - catch you later.

Ouima!
Just stopping by to tell you how good it is to see you posting. Sending a hug....

Oh, Mama, Thank you for your bithday greeting. The weather isn't cooperating - yesterday was 108°, today, my "medicare" birthday, is suppose to be 105°.

Mom called this morning to sing me Happy Birthday. Last year I was in So. Cal. with her for my Birthday.

Tonight, I will be working Britt & listening to Midori (excellent violinist - have one of her CDs) with the Britt Orchestra, and being Pop Corn Queen - a title I got several years ago. [Not a fun job when it is hot - sun on the back & heat from the kettle. But during classical allows time to mix with friends.] I've found the least amount of clothes I'm allowed to wear and still be presentable.

Thanks again for the wonderful Birthday wishes.

Hi Mamacita
I see you have been looking thru my pics and leaving lovely comments so I am now looking thru your pics.
A gorgeous family you have and I just want to say I enjoy your posts.

Hello Mamacita! I am just stopping in to say, "Hello!" I hope you have a great day! (I am looking for wedding pictures!)

Good morning, Mamacita ... I'm just dropping by for a visit to let you know you are in my thoughts, and they are warm ones. As you continue to journey forward, know that I am with you. Sending you every blessing, Cathy

Mama, for taking the time to wish my son Robert a Happy 22nd Birthday.

Mama, may I please pass on my hubby's thanks for wishing him a . It has taken me this long to get here because we celebrated it over three days and I have really only touched down to earth again...just in time for my oldest daughter's 21st next week!
Never a dull moment!
BTW I do treat him like a king, because he has always treated me as his queen.

Hi Mamacita. Lovely to hear you on the site!

Mamacita's daughter! Have a fantastic day!!

Mamacita, I am so sad to hear about Angelique. Sending thoughts and wishes to her, your granddaughter, and of course to you too...

Oh Mama, have just read about Angelique. I cannot believe it, the poor precious darling.
Please pass on my best wishes and loving thoughts to your granddaughter from me.
You are all in my thoughts.

Hi Ouima. I haven't posted on your page in a while, so here I am. How are you doing, and how are Angelic and her child doing? I hope all is positive. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Mama, you're welcome to all of mine. Here is a sampling...
