I just wanted to let you all know that we told Mom about your comments here and at my blog, and she did receive and read your cards. (Have you all seen Jen's cards at http://www.muddybootdreams.com/ - wow!!!)
While Mom would not allow for services to be held for her, I don't believe she would mind at all that her blog become a memorial of sorts to her wit, wisdom, and mad skills.
Here's one of Mom's favorite artists. I can't listen without crying (so I hope the quality is alright), but perhaps you can.

Thank you..no..I couldn't listen without bawling either. I am glad that she was able to hear our comments. Thanks for leaving her blog up, I was missing her the other day and just read her blog for awhile..and it made me feel better! I linked to one of my old blogs from a year ago today..and guess who the first comment was from??
Hugs from Minnesota to all of you:)
Thank you for allowing us to continue to leave messages and send cards to your Mom even through her Hospice stay. She touched each of our lives in a special way and we miss her but I know that as her family members the grief is even stronger. My prayers are with you all. My deepest sympathy to each of you.
Thank you for leaving up her blog. She was one of the first bloggers I met when I started my site. It amazes me how close one can feel to another by merely reading their words.
I could always, always count on her to make me laugh. Her sense of humor was the best! And her comments? Oh they are so priceless!
Prayers to you all.
I am so glad that you have left her blog up. Like Far Side says, it does make us feel better seeing it. She was such a delightful commentator, and a amazing blogger.
Gordon Lightfoot has been a absolute favorite of mine since I first realized what music was. Just another thread that binds us bloggers together as friends......
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. We miss her.

To the family: To get an idea of how much your Mother/Sister was loved, look at the comments on not only my post in memory of her but also Connie's (Far Side of Fifty). We will continue to ask for God to comfort you in your time of loss.

Thank you. Your Mom's was one of the first blogs I began reading and I've thought of her as a friend ever since. I loved her sense of humor. She will be missed.
Gordon Lightfoot has always been one of my favorites. I will think of her when I hear him.

Words just don't seem like enough...I wish peace for all of you. I know she loved you very much. You could read the love in what she wrote about her family.
She will be missed by all of us who came to love her sense of humor and her wit. It was pure joy to read her thoughts.
My prayers for all of you.
Thank you so much for keeping us posted about your mother. I will miss her sharp wit and humorous posts; I could always count on her to make me laugh. I believe that she is now in a place where the sun is always shining and hopefully, there is an infinite supply of chocolate.
It was obvious through her writing that she loved each of her favorite daughters so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you take comfort in the many fond memories you must have of your mother. She touched the lives of so many.
I'm really gonna miss FD's wit and very funny dry humor. She was one of a kind! We used to fire off at each other from time to time, and I was no match for her witty retorts!
Hi,
Came by to wish you a Happy Christmas.
Love,
Herrad
I'm not sure how I ended up here but I'm sorry for your loss. That song is so poignant. And one of my always favorites. I hope the holiday season was filled with the peace of memories for you and your family.
I am an Ohio Grower too! I hope to see you in Columbus at the Home&Garden show!
I miss your Mom..I am certain that you all must be missing her desperately. She was a one of a kind..gone ..but not forgotten:)
I really miss you Pat. It's spring and I can't think about gardening without wondering about what
you are planning. I know that heaven will have some very beautiful flowers this year.
Ah Mother's Day has come and gone.
The little seedlings that she would have started and showed us growing were not planted this year. She cannot show off her flowers or weeds..
Hello Favorite Daughters, You were all special to her in your own way just like the flowers in her gardens..I am sure that you missed her this past Sunday on Mother's Day..but she would probably just tell you to get over it, she was a good friend:)
Mother's Day was hard. Spring is hard. Every day is hard. I miss Mom so much.
Thank you FSF. <3
Its been a while...
and I've been missing flydragon's writings.
Thank you the time that you shared in writing and reading my blogs...
and to FDs... thank you for sharing your mom.
God bless you.
I never got to read her blog. I just came on it today. I am so sorry to hear she has passed on . I lost both my parents to cancer,and know your emotions. When my mom passed,I didn't paint for a year. She so enjoyed my art. Then my hubby said if I didn't use it I would loose it. I started painting and haven't stopped sence. She also loved her flowers, so I started planting. I now have 21 flower beds. When I am in the garden there is always a white butterfly . It makes me think of my mom and she semes close to me. I hope you pick up some of the things your mom did and continue doing them. It will seem like she is enjoying them with you. Kathy

Hello Flydragon's Favorite Daughters..Three years since she left. It seems like only yesterday. She was a bright spot in the world. I still miss her as I am sure you all do too.
Sending you all hugs today:)
Thank you so much Far Side - it's so nice to hear that we're not the only ones who miss her.
Another b-day went by and all i could do was toast to her (and cry).
fav daughter #3
Another year has passed that makes four and I still miss her. Sending hugs to her favorite daughters today:)
Thank you Far Side <3

Dang, she woke me up on Dec 19--just had to remind me (or as she promised--haunt me). Well, she can remind/haunt me anytime she wants.

Five years...holy crap...I still miss her and the funniest darn things remind me of her...chocolate, flowers,and every time I see a Dragonfly I transpose the names. She was one of a kind..forever a friend! Sending hugs from Minnesota to her favorite daughters, she loved you all so very much! :)
Thank you so much, Far Side.
It's been a long time and I still think of your mom, her wonderful humor. I think I wrote her once that she was the updated Irma Bombeck. She laughed as always. Missing her.....

Six years and it seems like only yesterday. I think we must have been close souls sometime. I miss her and think of her, her favorite daughters and sisters often. Sending you all a hug from Minnesota. She left some really good funny memories behind, the good times and appreciation for everyday with the people we love is what is important! :)
Having a beer in your honor mom! In a coffee mug of course! Happy B-day. I miss you. Fav #3
Seven years has it been that long? Sending her favorite daughters hugs today! I still miss her as I am sure you do too.:(
Thank you Far Side, yes we do indeed miss her very much.
8 years have gone by. I still feel the loss of your Mother....we were connected somehow. Hugs to her favorite daughters :)
9 years how can that be? Since our ever faithful 14 yr old Border Collie died this year perhaps he is snuggling with your Mom. Hugs for all the favorite daughters:)
Thank you, Far Side.
10 years have come and gone, I still miss her as I am certain you all do too. Hugs for her favorite daughters today.
Thank you so much, Far Side. Yes indeed, we do miss her.
Eleven years how can that be? She was such a good friend. I am sending her favorite daughters hugs today.
Thank you Far Side
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your further post thank you once again.
