Saying Goodbye



I arrived back home after more than a week attending family matters. Just checking in. I'll be in and out as the days roll by and I get my bearings. Thanks for your patience.



Carmelina Rosa Spado Skalicky (nee) Caruso

May she rest in peace.

    Baruch dayan emet.
    May G-d comfort you and yours....


    Oh, I am so sorry.
    It's hard to lose a parent--at any age. Great-grandmother to 8...what a blessing to know that.

    I'm so glad you had the opportunities in the past while to spend time and just be with her. It's comforting to know you're that loved.

    Please take care of you. And I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss.
    Sending more hugs and more peace....

  11. Shelly... Thank you for stopping by and for the kind thoughts. Even though Mom battled a sever illness, it is a hard task to say goodbye to a love done. I appreciate the words.

    Katherine... At the funeral, they kept calling her Carmen. Many friends knew her as that, but her name is Carmelina. It literally means little Carmen. I love her full name, Carmelina Rosa Caruso. Thanks so much for your condolence. I appreciate it greatly.

    Peace to all
