How blessed were you to have such a brave and brilliant Mother...

My condolences.

May those memories comfort you in the days to come.

And to live such a wonderful life. I feel your pain and am glad you shared.

Remember her with a smile on your face.

She sounds like a great woman.

sounded like a great one! We will celebrate her full life with you.

Peace to you and yours.

for the coming election. We will need a lot of Angel power to get every voter to the polls, and mom angels have super powers! (Mine came to me in a dream and told me that my daughter and son in law were expecting... imagine their surprise when daughter took a test after my phone call to her, to find out that grandma was right!

Our thoughts with you.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

My condolences and a hug.

I'm so sorry for your/our loss, but so thankful we had this social soldier fighting for us. She gets to watch now how we carry the future. Its our turn to institute change and make our world worthy of her hard fought battles. RIP sweet lady, you earned it!

She made good things happen! My condolences.

her story with us. It is an inspiration.

Best wishes for a wonderful celebration of your mother's life. She sounds like a great woman, and an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing her with us.

She was 87 and "had a long and full life."
But it's still never easy. My sympathies are with you.

I feel for you. This is an especially difficult time for your loss. My mother lived to be 100...but I still miss her everyday that goes by. Hope the memories fill your heart for the loss in your life.

My mom died one year ago today.

She must have been a truly great lady.

everyone else who loved her. I wish she could have made it to see tRump defeated in the next election. No doubt, she will be looking down and smiling.

you're sharing deeply and openly.

Thank you. I feel honored.

I am so so sorry

I lost my mom last year. Isn’t a day that goes by that I think of her, wondering what she‘s up 2.

I miss her.

much more. Take care of yourself and hold onto the memories.

Blessing to you and comfort for your loss.

Remarkable woman. And thank you for sharing her with us.

Peace and comfort and love to you and yours.

keeping you and your family in my prayers

I’m so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss and grateful you had so much time with her.

I am so sorry for your loss, but I am glad that you have only fond memories of her.

May her memory always be for a blessing.

I am impressed by her activism. We are losing a generation of these hard-working Democratic women (my mother, now 84, among them), people who have fought the good fight against incredible odds for a while. A toast to her life. I'm sorry she never saw a woman president.

to you and family.

Peace to you and yours. ❤️

Be well.

Your Mom is an inspiration to us all, and I know you feel her loss deeply. My deepest sympathies are with you and your family.

Sounds like she left quite the legacy in her life and yours to pass on.

I join DU family in a community hug.

Take care.

My condolences to you. Lost my Dad this year. 2020 just can't suck enough it seems.

She didn’t suffer and went peacefully And doesn’t have to deal with the stuff we all are. But there will come times she will visit you when you least suspect it. Smile at your memories and know she is in a better place.

...here's to your mother!

And to you.

So very sorry. Devastating, 😞.
Sad news, my friend.

Sounds like a wonderful woman. My mother in law passed recently at 95. She worked for Planned Parenthood and we all know about that company.

The lines you wrote were enough to give us a sense of her social priorities, and how much she contributed to our community, for so long. I am grateful for her dedication to making this a better world. What is between the lines we can only imagine, and for that I extend a hug and a wish that happy memories will wash over the grief, to comfort you more and more with time.

An admirable woman, your mom. May her memory be a blessing.

((Big hugs)) You were blessed.

that she inspired you to be a committed citizen.

Please hold on to the best memories.

others would continue and prevail after she had to leave off.

That is a lovely tribute to a person who made a difference not only in your life but all of ours.

She also sounds like a person who was truly admired. Makes the loss all the harder but I do like the idea of celebrating a life.

Peace to you and your family

I’m so sorry for your loss. Even when a life ends that is expected to be at an end, there is still an empty chair. So, as you celebrate her extraordinary life, I hope you will take some time to take care of yourself.

That was a wonderful tribute to her. I’m glad that we have people like her on our side.

Peace and comfort.

It sounds like your mother was a remarkable woman.

after 17 years of taking care of me. She had an I VOTED sticker on each stuffed animal and I even have a photo from 10 years ago where she has one on her forehead. It was a perfect existence... just the two of us and it was pure love.

I hope you are able to handle your loss better than me. I am a wreck. I am certain that a padded truck will be pulling up for me any day now with a Covid -style straitjacket with my name on it. My healthy dad died suddenly a year ago and I am still grieving that loss. This makes Hell look like a picnic, to me anyway. Why does this happen to wonderful beings yet the crazy, orange sadist lives on and on and on.......?????

Sorry for your loss.

It was hard for women to be taken seriously in positions of power (when they got them). She sounds like an incredible person. And to have left such an important legacy... you must be so, so proud of her.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and glad she had such an impactful life.

She sounds like a great woman.

We should all try to follow her example.

I send my condolences to you and your family.

May she go softly into the light & may you be comforted in your memories.

Many of us here have suffered the loss of family and friends this past year, layered with a pandemic and civil unrest.

We celebrate your Mom's life and I know you'll carry on with her tireless work.

Make her wake into a celebration of democracy!...... .......... ........

She sounds like a tough lady with a firm work ethic that led by example.

It'll get a little easier for you as time passes. Your Mom is watching over you. Keep going.

It does sound like she led a full life - and was obviously much admired and loved.

Wishing you peace and strength right now.

Hugs

...activism. A long life and an admirable one.

My deepest condolences to you and your family...

It sounds like she definitely contributed to progressive causes.

Thank you so much for letting us know......

She sounds like she was a very civic-minded person. You can be proud of her achievements.

That is a very nice tribute to her. Hugs to you.

Please know that your friends on DU will be thinking of you and so many of us here can understand and empathize.

You have all my sympathy. You’re blessed to have had such an illustrious and accomplished mother. It sounds like she really lit your way. She’ll be shining in your heart for the rest of your life.

Thank you for sharing her memory with us. Inspiration is so badly needed these days.
