Sitting shiva - days of mourning

We are all home. It was an emotional time but it was a good send off for a remarkable woman. Now my sisters and I are each continuing, in our own homes and with our extended families and friends - so many people in our lives that were touched by mom will have an opportunity to come to our homes to pay respects, reminisce, raise a glass to toast to their friend.

I do hope all you Helen Fans will come by while we are sitting Shiva.... from 6ish on Saturday evening to 6ish on Sunday evening. Bring food and stories and kleenex.

I wish I was close enough with everyone to come to your homes, but I was so glad that we had our time in Florida together. It still seems very surreal....a little hard to believe that she is really gone....I sure do miss her a whole lot! We are sending lots of hugs to all of our family and friends who loved Grama Grama. She was one of a kind!
