My nieces, Ashlyn and Delaney, sang You Raise Me Up at her funeral.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
For the rest of the lyrics: You Raise Me Up

Sheila,
So sad to hear of this. Given how young your mother was it certainly was an unpleasant shock and surprise. No signs at all...that in itself is a blessing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sheila, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Sheila and Tom, Our thoughts and prayers are with you both as you mourn the sudden loss of your mother. I lost mine on Thanksgiving Day, ten years ago, quite suddenly also.
Although your hearts are heavy at this time, your memories will sustain you through the coming days and years. Treasure them and she will always be in your heart.
Best to both of you,
Malynda & Rich Madzel
Sheila

Sheila,
I'm very sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. Your family will be in my family's thoughts and prayers.
Sheila-
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Sounds like she was a tremendous woman. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I will be praying for you as you grieve. May you rest in the fact that you will join her again someday.
Peace,
Greg
