Chantillie,
Your Mom is resting, at peace. Soon she will be actively rejoicing in the presence of our Lord. Forevermore.
I could try and comfort you, but there is no comfort. I will not lie to you, this is a very difficult time. It is also a time filled with wonder and beauty. Because from now on your Mom will live in two places, in the Presence of Our Lord and at the same time in your heart.
Every time you remember her words of wisdom she lives in your heart. Every time you act in accordance to the values she taught you, she lives in your heart.
What you posted above proves God’s Perfect Love for Judith Anne. As you described the effects of the series of strokes, you showed God’s Hand, one by one shutting down her awareness on this side so that her Graduation from time into Eternity is free from any pain or discomfort. Be assured, God will also find a way to comfort your heart and bring Peace to you.

How beautifully expressed; exquisite in tenderness and truth.
Prayers continuing on the eve...
