    @Flowers I am so very hear the news of your mother's passing. I too have a wonderful Mom and we have shared many special Vegas times together. I have loved reading your reports of your trips with your Mom - the love you felt for her came through loud and clear. Sending my sincere sympathy.

    So sorry for your loss. Having lost my mom very young I’ve enjoyed reading about your adventures and fun with your mom later in life.

    So sorry for your loss. I love reading about the adventures you two had in LV. What wonderful memories you made, never to be forgotten. Will be there in May and my first drink will be raised to your Mama. Take care of yourself.

    Sending my condolences on the sudden passing of your mother. It’s clear to me how much love and respect you’ve had for your mom and the joy she has injected into your life. While you celebrate your mom’s zest for life I wish you comfort and peace over the coming weeks and months.

    I’m so very sorry. Sending love to you. We have lost a part of our VMB family. Rest in love Mama Flowers.

    I have literally edited this post at least 4 times now because there are just no words. Grief changes over time but I think you just get used to it. It never seems to actually get better or go away. My heart is with you Flowers❤️

    I’m so sorry for your loss. Being part of the “no moms club” sucks. Thank you for sharing your mom with us through your trip reports. Prayers for you and your family.

    Flowers, I have loved reading your posts, especially the ones allowing us all to get to know Mama Flowers, even though most of us never got to meet her. There's not much harder in life than losing your Mama.....the year of firsts, especially. But I can attest that you WILL feel like you can breathe again, and the heartbreak will find its way into beautiful memories and cherished moments that will bring you happiness. Prayers for you and your family.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Flowers. The one thing I've gotten from your trip reports was that you two always made memories of a lifetime on your trips. I know you will forever cherish them, as I do with my mom. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family and friends.
