Thank you Chris for sharing this beautiful and inspiring tribute to your Mom. Now I understand how you grew up to be the generous and caring person you are today. My prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.
Chris -- I absolutely know that your mom was an outstanding woman for all time because I know the wonderful son she raised. Your tribute to your mom was utterly magical -- factual, humorous, honest, generous, and filled with love and appreciation. I know that her spirit is free and content today in the knowing that she excelled in her greatest accomplishments! Lots of love and a prayer to you and the family.
Chris, I’m so sorry for the loss of such a remarkable woman, parent and friend. Take care in this season of shadows. Sunlight awaits as the cloud breaks. They will eventually. Cp
Thank you. I'm coming west for a day and a half - not sure it is a good idea, but thinking it would be nice to see amazing friends like you. I'll look for you.
What a remarkable parent, in a life story beautifully told. Her gifts live on and on through your words and actions. An inspiration for all of us and our families.
Thanks, Alan. I remember sitting in your office shortly after your mother passed. We looked at each other and you said, "this is so much harder than I ever guessed." You could not have been more right. Hope to see you soon.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Christopher. What a love-filled and touching tribute to your Mom. You marvelously and eloquently depicted her so that even those of us who never had the pleasure of knowing her could feel as if we did. My prayers and condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace.
P. S. I love your book lists/reviews, and have read many a wonderful book thanks to your recommendations.
Reading this through tears. What a wonderful, loving tribute. Thinking of you and your family and sending you my love. Having worked with you several years ago, I can tell you your Mom done good! Xox
This is truly beautiful tribute, you are the product of a remarkable woman.

I remember your great lady and all the wonderful love and dedication you always are. I thought of it in the last months also.

Thank you Jason.
So sorry for your loss, Chris. What a wonderful tribute you've written here. Her strength and generous spirit clearly lives on in you and your family.
You would have loved her. You are similar in so many ways - though I think she was more profane than you. ;)
But she was extraordinary.
just beautiful, Chris. the best way to spend some time.
I am the luckiest guy I know - hard as it was especially toward the end. Thank you so much for your note.
