I thought about His’s incredibly kindness this morning and how much like my biological mother she was. So funny, but so kind at the same time. I miss her contributions already.
No candles at work, but I hopped on to just say that I'm thinking of her, missing her presence her on the boards and hoping her family finds peace and healing in the coming weeks, months and years.

Will light a candle tonight <3 Sending lots of love, prayers and comfort out to all of V's loved ones. I am so glad I got to 'know' her. Her light will continue to burn through those she impacted.
May your light shine on in those you have touched, V.
PS: One of my most favorite Catholic hymns is the Hail Mary, Gentle Woman. In the name of the Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and in honor of our sweet V, who served as a sort of mom to us all here

Cheating because they frown upon lighting candles in rehab...
V I will miss how you showed each and every one of us genuine care and compassion. I will miss your hilarious stories of every day mishaps and the way you spoke with such love about your children and grandchildren.

V, I miss your humor, take-no-bs attitude, fierce love for your family, and the way you mothered us. There is definitely a hole in the fabric of the universe.

This one has a story.
I’m on vacation and I didn’t find out right away. On Monday I was in Ajo, AZ - basically on the border. I saw this roadside altar and lit a candle. Usually I have a specific person in mind, but that day I didn’t. It must have been for V. <3

Love you, V. I've been thinking about you a lot this week. I can't believe you aren't going to be here anymore. It won't ever feel the same without your presence. You are loved, and you will be missed. I'm glad you are no longer suffering and heaven gained a beautiful, kind, loving angel. Thank you for being a friend to us all ❤️❤️❤️
Sending love and light. Thank you for your Novena. The first one you did for me, everything came beautifully and I often think of you when I look at my perfect baby. May your soul shine.

I am tardy for an East coaster. V, dear V, you have no idea how much we're going to miss you. You were our take no shit den mother and I'm not sure we fully appreciated it until we had to face the prospect of losing you. I am so grateful to have known you, even if it was only through a computer.

I was travelling yesterday and didn't have access to candles. But since I read the news on Tuesday, I have not stopped thinking about V. I see her as the guardian angel of the ML board now.
These are the candles I lit for her the first time.
