Hi James,
My name is Linda Killion and I am the mother of Erica Killion of Ericas Tiny Trotters. I wanted to let you know again how sorry I am about your sister. Its so sad thinking of someone so young passing.
I was only 9 , my older sister was 10, my brother was 8 and my younger sister was only 2 years old when my father was killed in a car accident, he was 28. Then two years later my mother died of cancer, she was only 30. I am 45 years old now and at times its still hard. I had grand parents who took all of us in so we were raised together, thank goodness. But some of the hardest things were watching other kids do things with their parents when i didnt have any. My parents not able to see me grow up, graduate, get married and them not knowing their grandkids. My advice to you and your mother is to simply try to fill that void, which I know you will. I know its not like your neice having her mom, but its so important for someone to be there and talk to her about things going on in her life. And when you talk to her , talk about her mom, and how special she was. So many times people dont talk about those gone because its so sad that they are not here, but i found it was easier when my parents were talked about as a part of my life. Dont get me wrong , its sad and will continue to be. I can cry just writing this. I hope you understand what i am trying to say. I will be thinking of your family and hope all will be well.
