I'd like to share some comments made on my facebook page when I posted news of Mom's passing. 83 people commented on my picture of her in the hammock chair at our home in Brasilia, including childhood friends and family, colleagues from the REMC and Good Samaritan Hospital, friends of her daughters and acquaintances from all walks of life. I've selected just a few that were the most personal:
Sam Mauger: What a beautiful picture...You were a wonderful and loving daughter Valerie. She sure had a beautiful smile..xoxoxo
Raimundo Nilton Silva: That picture was taken in our home in Brasília -Brazil. She just loved to be there and enjoy and play with Leo-our dog. She is in my heart forever.

Emily-Robin Pierce: Thanks for sharing your news. Your mom looks like such a loving person in this picture, a beautiful bond with the dog, getting ready to talk with someone on her phone, and such a happy smile. You have a lot of her qualities. I'm sure you will be in touch with her, just in new ways. Sorry for our loss

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to our family via facebook, emails and phone calls. Your love and support have helped us immeasurably. We have especially enjoyed hearing so many personal stories of your memories of Sheran, many of which are brand new to us.
She was the most accepting and loving mother a child (or adult) could ever hope for! You knew when she was angry or, more frequently, stern, but I can honestly say that I do not recall a single time that I heard her yell in anger. She only raised her voice with excitement for her beloved sports teams!
If you feel the desire to make a contribution in her memory, she asked that in place of flowers contributions be made to either: Heifer International or Smile Train.
Thank you all so much for your love and support!
Jill
